Not anything complicated. But I can actually have an MSN conversation in characters. Watch: "你好我是加拿大人!" It's cool :)

:hi: I would love to learn Chinese. (Mandarin, I suspect would be taught around here.) I should sign up for a class.

That just says, "Hello I am a Canadian" I know Chinese folk who have taught mandarin in the US in smaller cities in Ohio and stuff, so there certainly must be one near you.

12. Are the characters for Canadian a person and a maple leaf?
;) Would you be so kind as to copy and paste the Chinese characters that translate to each word in "Hello, I am a Canadian" ?

We had a few 0C nights so far and that is all. I do enjoy the coffee more when the weather suits it. Hope the roads are cleared for ya by morning. Be careful out there.
