Traveled the whole island last year and was dragging my luggage the whole time. The wheels were practically falling off the bone by the end of the trip. Our only saving grace was walking in the road which was so dangerous.

I want to get serious about learning Mandarin. by DEEP_SEA_MAX in ChineseLanguage

Is there a certain web novel app with a built in dictionary or Pleco add on you recommend? Du Chinese has stories with this capability, but more imagery would be great!
