What’s Your Number?

About

Our alternate lesson title for today is "how to pickup Chinese girls or guys". So those of you who are single

pay attention as our site designer and veteran clubber Baifan delves into the art of the chase with its first

step: the fearless, persistent and somewhat oblivious pursuit of the ever-critical telephone number.

We'd say we hope it works out smoothly for you, but who are we kidding? China is to romance as the

Hindenburg is to air travel. Once you've got the number you're on your own.
