Nice to know you. I am a Chinese student at UH Manoa. I`ve been living in Hawaii for two years. Loving it so much. I`d love to know you too. Feel free to ask me any question you`d know or we can meet and talk sometime.

Today is Chinese New Year. I wish you a healthy and successful year of Rabbit! Happy New Year! Aloha, Xiaofeng

O wow haha, thats awesome I had no idea you were in Hawaii. Well I was just curious about a few thing from your home country, for class we were wanting to know something, or some sort of symbol that represents China to you? As well as a song or poem... Thanks so much for your time hope to hear from you soon -Mountan

ps: What are you studying at UH Manoa?

Hi,

I attached a photo of bagua to represent China. I think the yin and yang theory is fundamental philosophy embedded in Chinese daily life. You can check more out from the two links. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Yinyang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Ba_gua

As for the song, I recommend Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flowers). Check this song out from the links below. http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=PN1oUqg0IQo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Mo_Li_Hua

Additionally I attached one of my photos for you. I am studying geography at UH. Feel free to ask me any question if you have. Xiaofeng Kang

Hey, thanks again! You helped me a lot in my assignment to know a little more about your culture. I was curious as to what the jasmine flowers represent and why they seem to hold such importance?

For a symbol here in Hawaii I would have to say the gesture of a shaka represents the hawaiian lifestyle. It can mean many things from "hello" & "goodbye" but its really just spreading the aloha and that what hawaii is all about. Showing your aloha & love for the land and the people everywhere. -Mountan
