Greetings, EVERYONE. It is an honor to have you visit this site!

Is the world alright with you, today? I sure hope so. It depends on how well we groove with it, I think. This site greets YOU in Chinese because it seems easy to say and understand while sounding quite elegant. I revisited the languages site to update and correct my spelling of "Happy New Year" in Chinese.

Apparently, and in similarity with the USA, Europe, Africa, Latin America, and other places; China has several dialects spanning Cantonese to Mandarin and whatever else, in between. I like that, it builds cultural character and flavor. Click the link to a Chinese New Year celebration and get a glimpse into their fascinating culture! Actually, I found another saying I like: I love YOU! I put about twelve translations in my cell phone, already! You can learn to say it in many different languages by visiting the I Love You in Different Languages site.Soon, I hope to visit and immerse in as many of our World's cultures and languages as possible! Until then, this site can point you to some very kool translation plug-ins...I am trying these: Foxlingo---Babelfish---QTL

Now, I am beginning to enjoy learning to use the language translators, a web FTP client, and some other tools, services, and plugins that are helping me update this site, finally! Yippeee. Still, I like greeting YOU with: Gung hei fat choi! However, if you think of another language to say this greeting, just drop an email and let me know. If I can pronounce it, it can help expand beyond the favored, Chinese saying.
