Calligraphy really is an art unto itself.
Everyone in our little family enjoys expressing themselves in the arts: music, paint, sculpture and — of course — cooking. However, with Karen planning a conference presentation in China, it has unleashed the budding artist in all of us!
Most travelers who plan to be in China for any time are encouraged to adopt a “Chinese name” to aid in the cultural transition, which is a good thing. Some names sound easier to the western ears than others. Fortunately, I think ours sound fairly nice.
Here’s an interesting site which allows for some translation of your name and will even present your first name as a Calligraphy on one of a few paintings. A bit of fun!
Have fun!
