I've enjoyed watching the news coverage of Mr Rudd's diplomatic marathon. The amount of attention and analysis given to a simple "salute" of the hand, some purple suits worn by Therese Rein, and his fluent Mandarin is hilarious!
Have to say, it's so much more exhilarating watching someone with integrity, competency and charisma representing our country..
I learnt Mandarin for 12 weeks back in 2004. All I can remember is "Ni Hao Mah?" = Hello, how are you? and "She she" = thankyou. It was such a difficult language, with those different tones and characters and stuff.
