Debating in Mandarin!

Even I wonder how fluent I would be.

Caught parts of the International Varsity Debate spoken in MANDARIN last night , and it brought a wide smile to my face :) The teams were Stockholm Universitet VS some Korean University. ...Ahhhhhh good looking blond girls and guys speaking in fluent MANDARIN, DEBATING on the pros and cons of having budget airlines. And one of the swedish guy debaters reminded me of Fredrik Raynal, :)

"All eyes will be on Group B, where Mandarin is a foreign tongue for every member. This biennial production by Singapore's MediaCorp News and China Central Television drew more than 100 million viewers in 2003"

  • Are you going to debate in the S'porean team?

    I think I've seen maybe the same program when I was watching CCTV once in Beijing...sounds interesting to watch the "lao wai" speaking in fluent Mandarin but absolutely stunning.
