    I am a Chinese student at Beijing University and good in Chinese history. I love reading novels especially "wuxia" and I read many books about it. But they are all Chinese books and I want to improve my English writing(if spoken also well). So I wanna why not take my advantages to make friends with translators. If you have questions on translation or other fields about China. You could ask me about it. For most questions, I am sure that can solve it.
    So do you want to make friend with me?
    Just tell me about how to contact you. Message?Email?Wechat or other?

    That sounds great tbh. I think you will get spammed with question from here.

    Btw, I am curious about shipping from china to overseas. I heard the shipping are really cheap there. Is it true?

    not for overseas really.. paid 100usd for a box of air

    it's only cheap inside of china, due to Many drivers willing(or not, never got to ask them) to drive thousands of km

    beijing university? which one?

    good luck here.. people here are a bit of weird

    You know, Chinese don't like email and I also see emails sometimes. So I pretty like Wechat or other IM.
    I know the goods are pretty cheap. But for shipping, I'm not sure. Maybe they calculate the goods prices.

    Just the one you know.

    Yeah every one needs their token black, asian, spanish, and (if the group is made up of minorities then) white guy. So of course everyone needs an asian friend cause who else is going to do the accounting for ya, some jewish guy, maybe.....

    Although not a translator, but if you want a pasty white wannabe author as a friend then sure.

    Asking to make friends in NU is literally the last thing you ever want to do. All the "Degenerates", "Lurkers", "Loners", and others will mark you as a "rare breed". If you are a "Natural", then you will find friends before you know it(Similar type attract each other:blobrofl:)
    :blobpopcorn:
    This will be a good one.

    I'll gladly add you. but sadly I'm from rural area of china. both of my parents are farmers at hubei ezhou so I did't even finished my middle school. if that's fine with you.

    I'm good with tech stuff. and things relate to academic like Math or physic or chemistry and stuffs.
    As for bios I'm bad with all the Latin terms, you should check for the wiki for it instead.
