The "Very Practical Chinese" book tour is coming. If you haven't checked it out yet, click on the banner above this page to see sample pages and listen to the accompanying sound files. There's something there for everyone from beginners (how to order breakfast) to old hats (slang and proverbs).

And here's the good news! Author Maureen Kealy, in cooperation with the Tainan Bulletin, is going to give away 2 copies of this fantastic book.

There are two ways to win:

1. Design a logo. Ideally a banner and a square one. Email to robertjd at gmail dot com. The lucky winner will be decided by a panel of experts. (Okay, we're the so called "experts" but we will give it serious thought.)

2. Make reviews or additions to the directory. Restaurants, services, shops, whatever. Let the rest in on your gems or review what's already there. In the case that there is more than one person who qualifies, a winner will be drawn at random. Each review or addition to the directory is worth 1 draw. Entries with photos will be worth 2 draws. The winner for this will be drawn by Maureen herself at 10:00PM on June 19 at the Armory Pub.

That's it. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
