I work with people from all over the world. But the Chinese are by far some of the nicest, smartest and hardest people I have ever worked with. Their culture, (while I have been doing business in China for over 15 )I am still learning. It is fascinating. Including their medicine and how they care for their bodies without the need for western type drugs or vitamins. And the ability to create art out of most anything. Their small villages are beautiful in their simplicity and life style. The cities are huge and while crowded, everyone co exists. There is no road rage there.. if there is, I have never seen it But it is not necessarily their work ethic, demeanor or environment that impress me the most, it is their family values. In my opinion, most of the western world (including the U.S.) could learn a lot from how the Chinese care for their elderly. Incredible people well said I would love to go to China, Tibet, Mongolia :) everything Chinese? Tea and General Tsao....best thing in life is to find a really good family owned Chinese restaurant. The 3 Ingredient, or rice soup will C-U-R-E your flu or cold and if you have a young family, they love kids...sooooo....mange

I find the Eurasian mix highly exotic, and for most part are very physically beautiful indeed.

For when you want to know when the new or full moon days are, just look up the Chinese calendar..... The Chinese Calendar China and many Chinese communities around the world use the Chinese calendar, which predates the Gregorian calendar. The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar that is used to determine important festival dates, such as Chinese New Year. Lunisolar calendar The Chinese calendar is lunisolar. It is based on exact astronomical observations of the sun's longitude and the moon's phases. It attempts to have its years coincide with the tropical year and shares some similarities with the Jewish calendar. In both calendars, an ordinary year has 12 months and a leap year has 13 months; and an ordinary year has 353-355 days while a leap year has 383-385 days. In Modern Society Although the Chinese calendar originated in China, the Gregorian calendar is used in China for civil purposes in modern times. However, the Chinese calendar is still observed among various Chinese communities around the world. It is used to determine festival dates, such as Chinese New Year, as well as auspicious dates, such as wedding dates. It is also used to determine moon phases because it follows the moon.

The painted faces of the Chinese opera. I remembered going to the annual opera shows held during the 9th lunar month, and watching the various opera shows, often in Hokkien and sometimes Cantonese, and somehow able to understand the dialect though it was foreign to me then. It would be like a kind of series, and we would go night after night to follow the story line.

(((Ame))) I thought this was simply amazing.. imagine staying at THIS hotel Hi Zee Literally translated, that would be the Hotel Prosperity & Longevity and definitely a crowd attraction! Fu, Lu, and Shou (simplified Chinese: 福禄寿; traditional Chinese: 福祿壽; pinyin: Fú Lù Shòu), or Cai Zi Shou (財子壽), is the concept of Prosperity (Fu), Status (Lu), and Longevity (Shou). This concept of the Chinese traditional religion is thought to date back to the Ming Dynasty,[1] when the Fu Star, Lu Star and Shou Star were considered to be personified deities of these attributes respectively. The term is commonly used in Chinese culture to denote the three attributes of a good life. Statues of these three gods are found on the facades of folk religion's temples and ancestral shrines, in nearly every Chinese home and many Chinese-owned shops on small altars with a glass of water, an orange or other auspicious offerings, especially during Chinese New Year.
