I can understand that.

Having lived in Houston for so long, I've learned to speak and understand Spanish pretty well, though I am by no means fluent.

I've picked up some Mandarin and Hokkien that way too, but I am also not fluent.

My Mandarin is better than my Hokkien though, unlike the typical ethnic Chinese living in the Philippines.

My roommate is Chinese and his parents speak almost exclusively Cantonese at home. At the same time, Mandarin seems to be the more "mainstream" form of Chinese spoken and Cantonese seems to be shrinking in usage across the world.

Mandarin is the official language across China, Hong Kong, Macau and (I believe) even Taiwan. If you have to choose one Chinese language to learn, I highly recommend it be Mandarin.

Cantonese speakers are almost exclusively located within the Guangzhou province in south China.

And Hokkien speakers typically come from Fujian province.

Individual member churches of the Anglican Communion are often referred to as provinces. Confusingly, within many of the larger bodies, groupings of dioceses are also called provinces. The Episcopal Church in the USA has nine such provinces, one of which is almost completely composed of dioceses outside the United States.

Many of the people who live and work in the capital here actually hail from the outlying provinces.

The top of a column, be it Doric, Ionian, or Corinthian, is called a capital.

Blaze was lucky enough to visit Corinth last year. This year he might go to Spain.

Contrary to My Fair Lady, the mountains in Spain get the most rain, so it does not stay mainly in the plain.

Ah, Spain. With so many UNESCO World Heritage sites, I would love to go there for months.

There was something about UNESCO on the radio today. I thought of you, Ibby.

Thanks, Rocky. I know almost nobody who is interested in UNESCO World Heritage sites beyond them being tourist spots. I am fascinated by their historical, cultural or natural significance though.

Yes, although I think your use of them slowed down the "Name Three" game a bit.

Which reminds me, I haven't looked at that one in a while.

Alhambra is faboo!

Oh Alhambra is near the top of my list Peebz!



The game would have slowed down anyway without you and Quis posting

You're so cute when you're mildly miffed.

But aren't I always cute?

Pingu is the cutest animated penguin.

Isn't Rocky cuter though?

That's why I used the word "animated".

I can be pretty animated at times.

Perhaps The Boyfriend has some fun stories about that
