KizlarAgha Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I like Chinese swords a bunch. They don't get as much publicity as their Japanese counterparts but I think they're better. I'm particularly fond of the liang shou jian and the willow leaf dao. They're pretty. Anybody else like Chinese swords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it a bunch and it cuts like you wouldn't believe. I still need to give it a professional polish but that'll cost another 400 dollars and the sword was more than that. Blech...swords are an expensive hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really white - blonde hair, blue eyes. But I used to be able to speak Chinese and my roommates in college for 3 years were Chinese. (One was Chinese-Canadian from Toronto). It was funny because people would ask me if I was from China when I talked with my roommates and I'd look at them like they were idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mum speaks Catonese. [/quote] Ah yeah I learned mandarin and my friends were from mainland China, and not the south, so it worked. I used to be able to speak French, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Now I can speak a bit of French, a bit of Japanese, and I can read Latin and Old English. My Chinese is reduced to baby sentences. Edit: Oh, and yeah. In your picture you look half-chinese.

I constantly use my French to do my Medieval History research though, so it sticks around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like medieval latin better than classical latin. And I'm doing Arabic because I love medieval Islam. I'm on a weird muslim kick right now...
