Huān yíng, huān yíng! 欢迎, 欢迎! (Welcome, welcome!) :D

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 and learning Chinese needed its own space.

I hope that you’ll enjoy:

  1. the variety of Chinese food that I eat, buy and *try* to cook ,
  2. the Chinese words and phrases that I learn and
  3. other interesting stuff that we find, ok?
