Glad to be holding your interest. We are a far more wide ranging and far more relaxed site than SDF. Feel free to indulge your thoughts, views and general observations.

I am interested to hear about the Chinese community in Germany, we have had a number od Students studying in Germany from time to time, but you are the first "native" so to speak. The UK has a very large Chinese community on account of its Hong Kong connection and you are seldom more than a few hundred yards away from a Chinese Restaurant or Takeaway. What the situation like in Germany?

In Germany there is estimated 80-130k chinese of 81 mio total population, i am not sure if you can speak of a Chinese community. Sometimes is a lot more a village, gossips about old guys above 50 who return to china to "book a second wife" (i hope you understand my cantonese translation :( ), you see always see the same people on marriage party, like in a small village. but the people live quite dispersed from each other , they happen to meet just on marriage parties or birthday parties, sometimes it is just a pretext for playing mahjong :lol:

There are a lot students from mainland china here, ithink there are more students than "original" chinese right now. Oh, in Germany we didn`t have any Chinatowns, sadly, but in almost every town there is a chinese resaurant or similiar location, though a lot are not actually chinese kin :lol:

Thanks

I am surprised that there are so many in Germany. How long have you guys been over there? are you all mainly Cantonese?

Just curious

A lot are Cantonese, but if they are all Cantonese? (shruggs) :( :lol: , most from Guandong, HK, and boatpeople fleeing china and Vietnam. Sometimes you meet some guys from Fuchian, who speeks Hakka or Hokkien, quite funny :lol:

try this out and learn Hokkien become a full fledge native speaker
