Gern geschehen! / You're welcome! / 不好意思！ Wow! :o Beeindruckend! I just was in 杭州(Hangzhou). A very nice city, just the weather was rainy and not clear. We had a boat trip anyway.

xiaoni, ni hao, Dein Deutsch ist wirklich gut! 你的德文真好！ :) Are you studying in SH? 倪天

ultracold, 你好！ Sorry for answering so late, and thank you very much for your suggestions. I'll check it out next time I will go to Shanghai. Well, I am not even from Asia, but from 德国 (Germany). I took the Chinese class at our university for 2 terms, and writing on a computer is too easy nowadays. Everybody, try it out (for Windows XP): Install asian language support, add "Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0", switch to Chinese input and type: xianzai wo hui xie hanzi! (do not use spaces inbetween - "Now I can write Chinese characters!") :smug: Another thing to try out are the "DimSum tools" from http://www.mandarintools.com/dimsum.html. It is for free, includes a dictionary and more. 小倪

You can look into Windows help, topic: Install East Asian language files. (You do use Windows XP, don't you? :D ) It will also allow to input Chinese characters.

你的中文真好，我还不会写得这么好呢。 :)

大家好， Hello everybody, 我不是中国人,可是我现在在中国打工. 我要说我爱这里. I am not Chinese, however I'm currently staying in China for working。 I must say I like it here. 酷玩在中国这么流行?我刚刚可以找到任何事,除假的"X和Y"光盘以外. How popular is Coldplay in China? I can hardly find anything, except for fake X&Y CDs. 你们知不知道在苏州或上海哪里可以买酷玩的别的东西？ Do you know where to buy something else from Coldplay in Suzhou or Shanghai? 小倪
