Hi Pam, I, too, enjoyed learning about China. But having taught many Hong Kong Chinese, and knowing quite a bit about their character, I felt she often got them wrong. In particular she kept mentioning how they laughed, but she obviously never realised that the Chinese laugh when they are embarrassed. That was one thing which made me think she was probably very young, and that she hadn't really got inside the Chinese character.
