For chinese or japanese legends, you can check out chinese myth on wiki or buy a book about them. But they are old wellknown stuff already. For more fun, you can try to find some history related mangas to understand about the eastern cultures, reading historical mangas is very wonderful. If to try in traditional ways, you can buy books from Amazon. For chinese food, the most delicious and high quality are to be found in Hongkong, Taiwan, Macao. Some mainland cities like Shanghai is a somewhat messy place, but Beijing, Hangzhou, Xi`An, Lhasa could be ok.

BTW there are many new interesting discoveries in archaeology if you are a fan of those stuff. Make sure to check out neolithic cultures like: Liangzhu culture, Jiahu culture, Yangshao culture, Sanxingdui culture. Those cultures are from 7000-2000BC, there are many amazing stuff to see about them. The earliest brewed wine, the earliest playable musical instrument-a bone flute with a full octave from a 9000 years old culture, precisely curved 5000 years old jade artifacts, 3000 years old bronze sun tree, 4000 years old dragon symbolism etc. Travels in China will be cheaper than in Japan, so be prepared for the japanese cost.

thanks a lot, maybe i'll visit china too . iso happy to have a friend from china . If you want we can comunicate by MSN , here is mine: soussouzit@live.fr

Hi, NYG, thanks a lot
I think that i will not find books wich talk about chinese stories in my country, i'm far far away from china but maybe i'll find web sites help in that
so if you know some of them pls tell me.
i' m so happy to have a friend from China it's the first of my life that i comunicate with someone from this lovely country . Maybe i'll visit it one day. you said that travling to China cheaper then travling to Japan but don't worry i'll work hard to visit bouth .

I once said "こんにちは" (Konnichiwa) in my local chinese store.

guess what?

I hope we can make friends, ignoring those nationalists and militarists.
The relationship between China and Japan can be better and better.
Shame on NYG.
