Duality of culture
In November, ChinesePod celebrated two very different holidays: Singles Day on November 11 in China and Thanksgiving on November 24, a family day in the United States. Even though these holidays have opposite meanings, on both holidays, huge sales and discounts are up for grabs.
During November we will explored the duality of culture and saw where things differ or overlap. We came up with a specially curated list of ‘opposite’ words in Chinese that when combined create new meaning.

Lianca Van der Merwe
Lianca traverses the globe as a digital nomad but inevitably always end up somewhere in Asia. This is weird because, even though they have the best cuisine, the clothes don't fit her tall frame (pretty frustrating for a shopaholic). Her favourite ChinesePod lessons is 'How to Really Exaggerate Your Chinese' AKA 'Wolverine is soooo hot'.
