A lettle corrections on the spelling of the Chinese sayings the guy that wrote them to me I was having a hard time reading his writing so I asked him what some of the letters were and now they are correct.
Good morning= Zhao Shang Hao
Hello=Ni Hao
You are pretty=Ni Hen Piao Liang
Mark the Guy that gave me the Chinese sayings is from Guangzhou How cool is that.
