I didn't mean it like that. Sorry. If i read over what i said i wouldn't have said that.

In other words, I wanted to know more about the different cultures in Asia.

I like understanding different views ya know? I want to learn more about the Chinese and Japanese Culture. However I'm open to all cultures.

The other day, i met a chef from Indonesia. (SP?) Very nice guy. :goodjob:

I was just asking him some of the differences of there and here.

-Sorry again if i sounded rude.

( i have forgotten what she said, but I know she didn't say vietnamese. After she said that i wondered what the different languages were? And i thought Vietnamese wasn't a language...

Thax for the info.

I do have a another question if you don't mind.

Chi <-- Is that pronounced the way it appears?

I don't know what or who exactly this refers too, but some refer it to as "Ki"...

I think in martial arts.

I'm sorry if i get some of this wrong, I'm somewhat clueless..

I don't mean to offend anyone, by my lack of knowledge:no:

Thats cool, I didn't know that.

--- For anyone who is speaks Chinese... I was watching Inital D (the human movie) and I noticed the subtitles had Chinese and Simplifed Chinese...

What exactly does it mean? I mean of course it means what it says, but what happens with the wording? Are some words not needed to use?

chinese is a very complicated language whether it be mandarin or cantonese (or the many other chinese languages). its very hard to read subtitles quickly in chinese, so they came up with a simplified version to read

sawadee kop

and for the original question-
chinese heritage but my parents were born and raised in thailand, so i thought i was thai until i was in my 20's.
i went to a southern baptist church on sundays and a buddhist temple on wednesdays and saturdays... both for the better part of my adolescent life
so i just grew up confused!
