Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Comrades who have been/live in China, I'm visiting sometime next year! I've commented about this before but it's coming up on the new year so.

Any advice on where to go, how to behave, what to see, do? Any information would be appreciated, I'm so excited

Genuinely never been so excited to travel before. Marxism-Leninism makes everything so much better lol

I really want to interact with people there, I should start getting some translation apps set up and learn basic phrases in Mandarin. I want to show I'm not an arrogant dumb USian lol, I've heard the Chinese are very nice but I am still a little scared to give a bad impression and get marked as a dumb American.

For translation I would recommend Pleco as you can have the person you are communicating with draw the characters and then translate that. It isn't perfect but I used it heavily when I lived there
