]]> <![CDATA[By: alkrasnov]]> I heard about Wuhu. When I was thinking about checking out China and searching where I could study Chinese, this was one of the first result, so I searched a bit about it.

I heard that there's a new mall there that doesn't have much business, since most citizens of Wuhu don't have that much money... is that true?

Anhui province is indeed one of the poorer provinces of China but Wuhu is developing quite quickly I think, partly because it's the home of the ubiquitous Chery car: http://www.cheryglobal.com/

When I was there, a huge mall was built within only a few months (using bamboo scaffolding, mainly!). I left before it had officially opened so I don't know its fate.

Wuhu locals are so friendly and their pace of life is relaxed (slightly too you1xian2 for me!). It's very different to life here in Shanghai.

Whereabouts did you choose to study in the end?

]]> <![CDATA[By: chrka]]> Try looking up 'smurf' in the glossary! Does anyone know if the sample sentence is from an actual lesson? (Be careful though, I can't seem to get "在那山的那边海的那边有一群蓝精灵，他们活泼又聪明....." out of my head now...)

]]> <![CDATA[By: espela]]> the mentioning of Wuhu brought back good memories.. Last year I was learning mandarin there for 6 months and I loved it...The city is lovely, it has many parks and lakes and as much inhabitans as my home-country ..;)

The only problem was that their local dialect is completely different from putonghua, so I had a lot of difficulties in communicating outside the school.

The city is changing sooooo quickly; I couldn´t believe how they were able to build one of the biggest amusement parks in Asia in just a couple of months... A month after the opening some people were stucked in the air on the roller-coaster for hours... but that´s another story..

I wish to be able to go back soon...
