Nǐ hǎo! 你好 (Hello!)

Once upon a time, a banana went to China. What’s a “banana”? Colloquially, a “banana” refers to a Chinese person who cannot speak Chinese, whether it’s Mandarin (the Beijing dialect) or Chinese dialects (Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka, Hainan etc).

“A Banana in China” is born when I felt that our amazing adventures in living in China needed its own space.

What will you find here?

A fish out of water. A square peg in a round hole.

Although you’ll find more rants than raves, I am taking a positive attitude towards living in China and I hope that you’ll find some of the blogs useful.
