This is very interesting to know. My next trip is a whirlwind, only 2 weeks to visit mostly old friends, but I plan to spend more time in China in the summer of 2007 and will take your advice.

By the way, if you want to learn some French, I speak that language fluently and would be happy to help you learn and practice. However, being lazy by nature and design, my mandarin is going too slow for my taste and I am nowhere near being ready to practice anything. Send me a private message on this forum and I will reply back.
