      Dear Sarah,

      of course I know those books! I only think it'll be hard for me to read them in Chinese, because surely the language used in these books is pretty sophisticated.

      I'm rather looking for some simple, modern Chinese novels. Of course, I like to learn new words, but if the number amounts to more than 20 per page, I'm afraid I wouldn't keep going.

      Hello There,

      I'm going to leave China soon and want to take some Chinese books with me so as to continue learning Chinese.

      My question would be if you know any blogs that have good book reviews (in Chinese) or if you can recommend some books with an interesting/fascinating story.

      At the moment I'm reading Harry Potter, so you know my level is still pretty basic...

      I would be very thankful for some recommendations!

      I really like this place's relaxed atmosphere. I usually order at the counter and never have to wait long until my drinks/food are served. I like the fact that smoking is banned till 8 pm and that I get a cup of lemon water for free. Also, there is always at least one waiter/waitress who speaks English.

      I was stunned when I read all the negative reviews, but maybe they're in the process of improving their service. And I have to say I'm quite content. Oh, and you have to try their Manhattan Cheese Cake! It's awesome!
