No problem. I just feel lucky to be able to meet deaf Japaneses on my trip.
sheila022-Props for you if you are gonna attempt to learn some Chinese. So I am assuming you were raised in US (or somewhere that speaks English) while your family stayed in China?
Japanese, I think is going to be third language I want to learn. Just got to find appropriate time and class for it. So the next time I go back to Japan, I can at least understand basic stuff that's written on wall/poster everywhere, lol. (and menus too)
