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.Originally Posted by Miao
Thank you so much.
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.

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!!!

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.
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.
