Thank you so much. I am so glad that you like them. Chopstick is so naughty that sometimes I feel he is a dog rather than a cat.

Hi,Barbara. I'm so suprised to find my mother tongue be spoken here. Your Mandarin is wonderful(Fei Chang Hao). I will visit here very often if my poor Enligsh could be understood. :blush:

Actually her name is Nian Gao, but I don't know how to translate it in English. :(

Welcome to TCS Chris and to your beautiful kitties Mooncake and Chopstick. :)

Your English is doing quite well, so do not feel so bad.

I am not sure about this but there might be some online dictionaries that might be able to help translate between English and Mandarin.

Thank you for sharing with us. :)

Nian Gao is Chinese traditional food. I'm not sure whether you've seen it before. Instead, moon cake maybe better known in foreign country. So I use moon cake just to show that my kitty is very sweet. :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:

Hi! Welcome to TheCatSite.... Your English is a very good one, so don't feel bad! I myself am at times surprised when I find someone who speaks my language (Spanish) here.

I tried to check out that website.... well I could not read everything it said :lol3: But it seems fun!

What does it say in your signature?

Hmm yeah, good choice on the name moon cake, beautiful. The direct translation of nian gao (year cake, right?) would seem to be an odd name for a cat.

Welcome Miao,

So you are from Shanghai. That is one of the places on my list to visit when I take my around the world trip with my brother. Shanghai, there is so much history there. The place is so old and ancient, unlike Kingman.

I do know there is a "big" difference between the Chinese and the Japanese but as a child, (6 to 7) I live in Okinawa. My father was a Patholigist working with the U.S. military, (we were civilians) teaching medicine. We went to Hong Kong on Christmas. We stayed at the Mandrine Hotel. At 6 and 7 you really don't grasp the political situation but I love the Asian people. I couldn't tell the difference between the Japanese and the Chinese.

We went to Sun Moon lake in Taiwan. We went an aboriginal park there. We had a blast. The dressed us up in traditional customs and let us go play. The thing that I remember best is that they had life size models (statues) of horses and you could get on them. I loved it. I so much wanted a real horse.

When my family moved back to the States we settled in Kingman, AZ. And I got my horse. Her name was Starlight. She is now waiting for me at the rainbow bridge. If you want to see what she looked like, check out the thread, "Ok, she is not a cat but I still loved her." in the Rainbow bridge.

Welcome to TCS! Don't worry about your English - there are several nonnative English speakers here (and I had no idea so many knew some Mandarin), and one thing that makes this site so interesting is that it's pretty international. Your cats are beautiful.

Oh Goblin, you just took me back about 40 years! I loved horses too (still do)! When I was about 7 or 8 I asked my Dad one morning to bring me back a horse. I fully trusted him to bring that horse home THAT NIGHT. I remember standing at the screen door that night waiting for him to trot the horse down the street... in BROOKLYN no less! When he didn't he told me that the Mayor wouldn't allow it! Years on the couch followed!!! :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:

How I wish to go to so many places like you!
Before you come to Shanghai, please try to connect me. I will take you to those historical sites that doesn't exist on the map. You know, local Shanghainese seldom go to places that travel angency or tourist guide sugget. I can take you to taste the most famous and delicious food in small restaurants that local Shanghainese likes most. :wink: :wink: :wink:
By the way, Shanghai is a modern city now. I can't say it is like metropolis in Amercia, but it is developing very very quickly. If you want to feel the history and tradition of China, Xi'an may be a better choice.
