Practising your Chinese writing and reading
[QUOTE=ThingStick;1871915]Here's a larger update for you Harbiners, with a current state of the scene from a long night out last night:
So it seems the current state of Harbin is tough town for service under 600 RMB now, the majority of places going a little higher.
I headed back to that "Water of Love Leisure Shop" originally detailed in post #122, and I no longer recommend it as a first option. The owner is sort of condescending, and there was a big to do this time for my 700 RMB for FS. After some back and forth about cover for a BJ, I got no shower, nothing, just a room, and time-watchers. Very rushed deal. The girl wasn't very good, but the whole experience was about a 5/10. BBBJ was weak, and she was a spitter. Switched to FS due to being turned off, and it was star-fishy. I will say my first girl was very good, but I did give her 200 RMB extra. I figured out that the girls ask you for 200 RMB each time, but you don't have to give it to them. That must go to them. I told them I gave the guy up front 700. In the end he sort of condescendingly remarked he wanted me to give him 100 RMB for a "thank you" and I did just that, but made it clear their service is really lacking. All in all, for 700 RMB, man. You shouldn't feel made fun of. Would still like someone else opinion.
Anyways,
I had a long night out with a taxi driver who gave me his Wechat, will help in future runs, had fast internet and a translation app. So unless I am wrong, the following points stand:

TS[/QUOTE]Now, you will be HIGHLY motivated to practise your Chinese language.
Learn and apply the "radicals", learn and apply the characters. Learn to combine the characters into "words".
The first 8 years are the hardest: after that it all becomes very easy! Hahaha.
Just my experience.
