renzhe Posted May 4, 2010 at 10:43 AM Report Posted May 4, 2010 at 10:43 AM I'd translate 毅力 as "perseverance". Quote

skylee Posted May 4, 2010 at 01:32 PM Report Posted May 4, 2010 at 01:32 PM To me 康樂 is funny. But I guess it is just me. (I would laugh at it secretly but to be polite I would say it looks nice.) Good advice re public baths in Japan. Quote
Lu Posted May 4, 2010 at 07:51 PM Report Posted May 4, 2010 at 07:51 PM That is some nice writing, and all correct words too! You're really lucky to have ended up with something of this quality, it quite often goes wrong. Quote
