Inquiry
This is the place for people to ask questions and get answers about Chinese culture, history, festivals, news, and tourism. In this spot you can ask me anything you would like (no personal questions please). If I don't know the answer I will find the answer. Being a westerner, I can answer questions from a westerner's perspective. I'll always be truthful and will not lie.
