Title: Ultimate Chinese Quiz: Should I?
Post by hiyathere on Jan 18^th, 2007, 3:59pm

I've been thinking of making the ultimate Chinese Quiz. But my only concern is that not enough people will be interested in it to actually do it. So my big question to everyone is, should I make one?

There is a Chinese section in the forum, meaning that there must be some people interested in the Chinese. I thought a quiz for them might prove interesting. I'm Chinese, so I should be able to make quite a few good questions.

I guess it was created by William (the admin) because he is ethnically Chinese, too.

I see. Well, if no one is interested, I'll call this off, then.

If you don't know much about the Chinese, then you're gonna have to Google everything. However, I can't post anything tonight, because 1) I need to make it up, and 2) I'm gonna have to go to bed soon. :P

I will post it on the Chinese section A.S.A.P.

Really? I have to admit, I'm surprised. Anyways, I promise the quiz will be on sometime tomorrow.
