Test your knowledge.  It's simple and FUN! (I had a good time with it any way.)

Ted,

You must have got each question right, as you can't move on until you do pick the right answer. haha!!!.
Myself, i got 2 wrong on that first Quiz, and several wrong on the subsequent Quiz's...

You don't get a score at the end ....you just get the chance to go back and do it all again ....lol!!!

An observation,

I told Lucy over the phone today about this quiz and the two questions i got wrong. Well, ...she just laughed her head off. One of those questions i got wrong was the one about the ''most common greeting'' used in China. (correct answer ... Have you eaten) ....Lucy told me that, ...that may have been the case decades ago, but no-one ever says this these days and not in her lifetime.

Which just goes to show, and makes you wonder, if most of these people that write about China etc, have ever been there in person, or have they just read bloody old books on China!!! lol!!!

The writers of the quiz might not have been from the same area, but I know in Singapore and Malaysia, it is quite common for the chinese to greet someone by asking if they've eaten yet.  That's also how my mom greets her friends (mostly from Taiwan).

My wife told me it is the same where she is.
