Order from Dangdang

[SAHM_TAN]

My order was dispatched from DD on 6 Mar but only posted out on 16 Mar. Wonder where it was sitting for 10 days. It has yet to leave Guangzhou, wonder when it will leave China's shore :? Maybe another 20 days?

I guess they are waiting for the container ship to fill up :roll:

Tamarind,


Need your advise. What do you think of this? 18 chapters of 宫崎骏作品. I noticed my #1 boy knows how to read very well but when comes to conversing in Chinese is quite bad. So I am thinking of getting more chinese DVDs.

Typed too fast, my order has not even reached Guangzhou. So the agent must be consolidating for enough orders, then send to Guangzhou. Wonder do they take the ship departure schedule into consideration or they only look at at the qty. So if not enough, will miss the ship and have to wait for the next one.

Hi laughingcat,
I did not get the complete set. This set does not contain his latest works like Howl's moving castle, Ponyo and Spirited Away.

I bought some individual movie DVDs from dangdang. Ponyo and Spirited Away are available locally.

You can also get the Disney movie DVDs locally, they have Chinese audio.

In the end, I received it more than 9 weeks later.

宫崎骏 DVDs are also available at the National Library. You can search for 宫崎骏 at http://www.nlb.gov.sg/.

Okay...will check it out from the NLB.

Tonight was the first time I exposed my boy on the 喜洋洋与灰太狼dvd and he likes it. I hope he continues to like it.

BTW, in your own opinion how do you encourage your children to speak more mandarin? Coz I have this little problem here. Both my kids can read chinese books quite well. However when comes to conversing, they are really bad. Most of the time tongue tied. How do I resolve this?
