Well I just got back from my honeymoon [Party]

The concept of marriage, and the ins and outs of sex [ROFL]

are nothing short of staggering sometimes.

But anyway I got back and I have once again come face to face with mountains of Chinese homework, luckily I can do some of it at work and I thought I might start an interesting thread that banks on the multilingual nature of hatrackers.

Its simple really, make a statement in a language (English included) and a hatracker will respond to it in another language. The next person then responds to THAT comment in English or in ANOTHER language if they are bi lingual (heres a medal if you are).

This thread might go nowhere, but hey at least it will help me pass the time while I do my homework

And so it begins: (apologies I am at work and cannot utilize my character software for this sentance.

shei hui kan de dong wo suo xie de hua? Qing ni hui da!

*guessing* Are you saying we're using uncivilized languages? As in, Czech is more civilized than Tagalog?

Ambot sa imo.
