November 19, 2009, 12:13 PM posted in General DiscussionCheck out this cool photo gallery of China's Ethnic Groups... well, the officially recognized ones anyway.
For some reason it makes me think of Britain around the time of the Industrial Revolution.

其实他们会经常穿这样的衣服
..真的吗？谢谢为告诉我。我很高兴听到这个。我同意。。很漂亮的。其实，我前怀疑少数的少数民族经常穿传统衣服但多数只穿这种的衣服节日的时候，可是我真的不知道，所以这是很有意思的新闻。
vallance,
That's taken as a given for most of us I think mate,at least it is for me anyway,so it doesn't detract one iota from still being a good effort.The cool thing about this language is that one is on that exciting learning curve for a long time and the challenge remains and doesn't wear thin,but every word or bit of knowledge behind you gives that little sense of achievement and makes it easier next time.Good to see you around.Jiayou. :)

November 19, 2009, 01:01 PM哇，了不起。非常好的照片，不过我怀疑他们经常穿那么很漂亮的传统的衣服。多谢tal.

November 19, 2009, 01:20 PMWoah, that's funny, it wasn't blocked an hour ago but it seems to be now.
I'll check for another. Bear with me.
PS. Sheesh, I'm getting nowhere here. Get a VPN bodawei, it's the only way to go!

Is it me or have the "VA" people accidentally ended up in the set of a pirate movie? ;)

November 19, 2009, 01:32 PMI can't open the link. Maybe it's blocked in China.......(?). Anyway, I imagine they are photos of 汉族人 who wear ethnic clothing of minority peoples, as is always the case in the PRC.

其实他们会经常穿这样的衣服。他们平时穿最漂亮的衣服就是过他们节日的时候。至少有藏族这样做。其他我不了解。我去过了中国西部的时候我看到了少数民族的人民都会穿自己族的传统衣服。

November 19, 2009, 01:41 PMYeah, sorry. This link is blocked in China now. Shame, it's a great collection of pics, and all the text is in Chinese. When I have time I might upload some of the pics to another site and link to them here.
@silktown - 没错！What goes around comes around.

well done mate.That was a challenge...my Chinese would be harder to follow than usual Chinese.This was one of those sentences that I was super confident was wrong.Cool that you could still get the gist.Sounds like you're doing fine.Keep it up :)

November 19, 2009, 01:24 PMTal, as a kid, I had a guide to the British Empire (published circa 1920?). It fell open at the pictures of bare-breasted ladies. Such pictures from such latitudes were allowed. I learned a lot about diversity from those pictures.
My "favourite" was a row of smiling naked people with the caption: "None of these people can count beyond ten." Ugh. It's all relative, isn't it?

November 19, 2009, 12:16 PMThis is a nice post. At least, it's "lingistic" this time, hehe.
