I had a really scary dream last night. I dreamt that me, Al and dad had to translate English stories into Mandarin orally under the tutelage of some random old guy. It was horrible. I couldn't do it!

In real life I probably couldn't have a properly intellectual conversation with anyone in Mandarin. Probably due to the fact I didn't have much of a Mandarin speaking environment in the first place. Maybe I should live in China for a couple of years. = )
