chinese poetry
I found this Chinese poetry site today. It is so amazing - includes all the poetry, in Chinese, both simplified and traditional, and includes a literal English translation of the poems, and a more natural-sounding English one. It also includes a Mandarin pronunciation for the characters, although in my head it's been all in Cantonese.
Can you get homesick for a culture? I'm in this mood right now where all I want to do is listen to sappy Chinese love songs, watch stupid mo-lei-tou Chinese movies, and listen to people talk. I want to be able to speak in Cantonese without an American accent, and I wish my friends who do speak Cantonese were around. Maybe we could play mahjong or something.
Anyone up for a game of mahjong?
