In case you're not Chinese and don't understand the title of our blog,
means "Don't understand", and it is probably the most frequent phrase we have said our entire trip. Like I said we cannot understand a word of the local dialect here (and our Chinese isn't that great to begin with), so it summarizes pretty much all our issues we've had staying here.
There are a lot of international engineers from Dearborn working at Ford in China, and when we were introduced to them one of the first things they told us was to tell people "ting bu dong, mei guo" (Don't understand, America) if someone came up to us speaking too much Chinese, which we found pretty funny. At least we aren't the only ones lost here.
