Ha ha, easy... Flushing, New York. LOL... -bowroflarms (sorry, couldn't resist) Seriously, if this was meant to be a real measure of one's knowledge of Chinese culture, then we're in some serious shit... This would the sort of questions I would ask a non Chinese tourist. -rolleyes
Q4, China officially registers 56 ethnic groups. Q5, it can mean "lover" as well. Q8, in cantonese the sound of "yellow" is similar to good luck as well as adult content.
I thought yellow can be either adult content or good luck.....depends on the situation or topic....hmm
Actually, in canto: WORNG 旺 means to grow or to flourish; as in Mong Kok 旺角 (pronounced as WORNG GORK) WONG 黃 means yellow; as in the color yellow 黃色 (pronounced as WONG SIK)
the capital of China can never be Hong kong. I thought HONG KONG is the centre of the universe or something with all the attention grabbing people in HK. hongkong is all important, sheeeesh!.......( I am not from HK, in case eomeone dont know.)
a fortune cookie is cookie an u get a little message on the inside... looks like this an then u got a slip of paper..an u break the cookie to get it...
Adult content. In Hong Kong we use it. Do you know famous street in Mong Kok? Portland street? Many there. Nightclub or company name is on yellow signboard, so yellow always refers to adult content.
i got all of those part from the yellow one as well... with q3 about the surname... if she marries and takes the husbands name surely that's also the right answer? or am i mistaken? i know some women take both names (bit like double barrelled surnames in western culture) but i would have thought both a and c would have been correct answers... american gimmicks lols... but there's speculation that they have their origins in japan...
The questions were particularly directed to the non-chinese thanks,i've actually seen this in movies but i never knew the name...
The question asked how minority groups there were, so it doesn't include the 56th ethnicity, which is Han.
