So what's the plan, Stan?

So I showed you the map earlier, but now, let me be a little more specific about what we should expect to see. 

First, I will be heading to Taiwan where I plan on answering a number of questions.

First, do people there consider themselves to be Chinese or Taiwanese or both? Second, I am going to try my best to be your tour guide as we visit some of Taiwan's national treasures like the Palace Museum, famous night markets, and a shrimp farm. That's right, we are going shrimp fishing! Fishing for shrimp!

While in China, I will be visiting small villages inhabited by non-Han Chinese. Han Chinese is the group of people that makes up the majority of the population in China, however, there are a total of 56 groups of people in China that have unique traditions, languages and customs. I can't wait to talk to these people and learn more! Remind me again what you all would like me to learn about by writing in the comment section below this post.

Last, I want to capture video of real life activities that you would like to complete using Mandarin. For example, shopping in a local vegetable market.

What else do you want to learn to do using Mandarin? Buy a train ticket? Ask for directions? Discuss playing basketball with a friend? Let me know in the comments section!
