I love the cat stamp cards in Viet Nam. As a native Chinese, I enjoy learning new traditions about Lunar New Year every year. Last week, my colleague told us year of Rabbit is Cat in Viet Nam. Her version was due to the mistake in translation. In the classroom, this leads to discussion of "right or wrong";  how culture influence each other over time, etc. Conclusion: while be knowledgable, stay open-minded.

Nice meeting everyone! I am s secondary Mandarine teacher at a private school in Los Angeles. I am very interested in taking this opportunity to learn on how to guide students investigate the similarities and differences within China and Chinese-speaking communities, and also between the Chinese cultures and their own.
