ouyangjun Posted March 9, 2015 at 01:35 PM Report Posted March 9, 2015 at 01:35 PM I've always been interested in the direct translations of Chinese cities into English, and wanted to see if we could get a little game going. You name the city, town or village you are in using a direct to English translation, and we will try to guess what it is in Chinese. I will start... I'm in "Snake Mouth" Quote

ZhangJiang Posted March 9, 2015 at 02:23 PM Report Posted March 9, 2015 at 02:23 PM I went to 长春 last winter, and I also went to the Heaven Ford. Quote
Guest realmayo Posted March 9, 2015 at 02:49 PM Report Posted March 9, 2015 at 02:49 PM Ah, Angelina, a ninja edit ... perhaps you ran into some ninjas in Jiangnan? Quote

ouyangjun Posted March 13, 2015 at 03:44 PM Author Report Posted March 13, 2015 at 03:44 PM @Takeshi - you're in Hong Kong? Today I started my day in the city of "Long Peace" known for their "East Aquatic Herb"... I then made my way to "Fragrant Harbor" for a meeting and came back to "South Mountain", which is in "Deep Irrigation Ditch" Quote
