@papajohn Wade-Giles is actually good when it's used properly (almost never) -- easy to learn and in some ways more accurate than Pinyin.

@papajohn ...makes you realize what a sad facade "international" cities like BJ and SH are. I haven't seen a single Manichean here!

@papajohn iAcces. Ever feel the need to input Chinese via Cangjie, Wubi, Sucheng, Zhuyin, Jyutping, etc. on your phone? Now you can!

@niubi Are you using a Japanese Wii? I've been trying to find a way of flashing the firmware to get English on mine, but no luck so far.
