I've been learning Chinese characters with a colleague from school. Han-Fan Chinese is a company run by Ann and Catherine (English names), with the mission to coach expats' 'China Life'. On Friday June 5th at 8.00pm Guangzhou English channel will broadcast a small group from the language school learning the basics of Mahjong.
There are five basic modules to win and the game is a four player game. The tiles are named after the inventor. The worst tiles are the characters, so most people collect the circles, strips and numbers.
I played on an automotatice table with a push button start. It had neat little drawers to keep the chips in.
Can't wait to see the programme!
