Ni hao, Shirley! (I hope that's your dialect and I got it right). I think you are our first member from China. Welcome!
I was in Hong Kong once and took a day trip to mainland China. Loved it all.

I can understand what u say. In fact, u speak Chinese quite well. I haven't heard of any TV program in China which has ever played Sherlock so far. So I download them from the Internet and of course they have subtitles both in English and Chinese. I have pasted the url to change my avatar, but it always disappears and then shows nothing when I log in the next time. Do u know what's wrong with it?

Hello there and welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun.

Hi shirley!! Welcome to the forum from one who lives in the USA. I'm so glad to meet one from China...
I think the name Shanghai is beautiful-- It reminds me of a song called Shanghai Breezes which was made famous by John Denver. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Hi, Shirley. I'm from SH too. It never occurred to me that in this forum I would ever meet someone from my hometown which is so so so far away from Holes's.
