I come from Malaysia. Do you know Malaysia. It's a beautiful country in south east asia. Malaysia is a country of multiraces, multi culture and multilanguage.
I never been to China before but have visit Taiwan few years ago. I may visit China soon. Which province and which city of China are you from. I think the 2 book you introuce are not so easy to read. Have you read them before and can you give us a brief description of the content of the 2 books ?

first I want to say thank you for meet you here,we are from asia,and I hope we could be friends.I am in beijing ,the Capital of China.I am a Dr. applying for PHD.as to the two books I recommended to all of you,one or two simple words can not be descriped and also can not express the wit of the book, if you are interested in the strategy of the Chinese culture,we can communicate with each other in free time. all in all, for YIjing(yin and yang) talks about "one"-that is to say, everything would be finally united into one.for Lunyu talks about the "politeness" which dominated the whole big Chinese country for thousands of years.

I came from the wonderful islands, Philippines which is divided into 3 groups Luzon, Visayas, and MindanaoThe largest is Luzon, the site of the capital, Manila.Our culture, influenced deeply by the foreign invaders who came to colonized our country, like the Spaniards who first governed us for almost 333 years, that's why our languages contains Spanish word. Later the Americans also occupied us for about 48 years and next were the Japanese for 3 years. Filipinos are very warm, friendly, hospitable, and very religious persons, especially when we celebrate different fiestas (feast of patron saint). During the month of May we celebrate the Santa Cruzan or Flores de Mayo, it's a parade of the town's beautiful and loveliest ladies depicting the searched and discovery of the cross by queen helena and constantine. We celebrate different festivals here in the Philippines, like the Sinulog Festival in Cebu City, the Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City, Mascara Festival of Bacolod City, Sandugo Festival of Tagbilaran City and a lot more... We have many beatiful and fascinating beaches here, like the world famous Boracay Island, where a lot of foreigners go
there...We are fun-loving people, we have great and best entertainers in the globe...
