Pretty sure many of us would be down to immigrate to China.
Mandarin is fuckin hard though.
I remember trying to learn Japanese and when the Kanji came out I noped out of there immediately, and I mention this because if I recall correctly, Kanji itself was originally Chinese which I think means the Chinese language is written in similar or exactly the same style and like just NOPE. I remember for instance one symbol that's supposed to be for tree, and like two of them next to each other means forest, and that much of the language is written in this style where you're supposed to get a sense out of what the word is trying to say, or something to that effect.
Japanese at least has Hiragana and Katakana; I am NOT going to try to learn mandarin unless it's simply spoken mandarin and not written (although that said, my pronunciation of Chinese syllables is terrible; a Singaporean guy who tried to teach me the difference between su, su, su and su just couldn't transmit the differences between; for instance su means four, while su means death, but su instead means....corner or something? Don't even ask me what su stands for, I can't remember that one!)
I have my kid in Mandarin lessons twice per week. So, when the time comes, she can request White Monster Energy Drinks on my behalf.
