The language that is spoken in most major regions in China is Mandarin Chinese. Chinese dialects are also spoken in every Chinese city/town. For example, the dialect of Nanjing is called Nanjing Guan Hua whereas the dialect of Shanghai is Shanghainese. In Southern China, many people speak the popular dialect of Cantonese.
The money used in China is called the Chinese yuan or 人民币 (ren min bi). When buying things in a store, people just call money 块 (kuai). For example, saying 10 kuai is similar to saying "10 dollars."
A bottle of water costs 2 kuai which is about 30 cents in U.S. dollars.
Although my cooking is not the greatest, the best meal this week was made by yours truly. I have been cooking more recently and the best meal I made was fried rice. I threw in the ingredients I had at the moment, which included mushrooms, garlic, onions, ham and eggs and it came out better than I expected!
