Tell us the most extreme lengths that you would go to in order to improve your Chinese:

I went to 上海 for an exchange program and stayed with a host family.

Low initial Chinese level + not-that-much fun pengyou + pengyou's cousin is a hottie = me cowardly leaving pengyou early to live with beautiful cousin and study 爱情

My story should qualify for the prize, 是吗? Smile It would be the perfect timing as I am heading to China for my internship in August.

Regards,

Engineering student interested in Solar Energy and learning Chinese (on  Mac OS X)
