These things keep popping up.
Perhaps you should ask yourself who will spend 30 to answer (usually) badly thought out questions to help someone who can't do the research themselves.
If you want to do this properly, join UK Chinese forums and ask specific questions(google is easy to use), go to various Chinatowns and start talking to people.

Of course, you'll actually have to work, and I'm aware that's an abhorrence for many students, but you'll actually get a clue if you can be bothered to do it properly.

Are you Chinese or just studying Chinese and Chinese people?

I'm a white English chap but I've had a couple of Chinese girlfriends in times gone by.
Getting a handle on the various cultures isn't hard but you need to do a lot more than some questions on an eform.
You eat the food, live close to the people and see what makes them tick.
You'll learn a lot more if you do it right.

PS. No such thing as Chinese culture. Lots of different cultures.
If you're any good at research, you'll learn about things that most don't even know exist.
An example.
Want to set up a karaoke in Manchester Chinatown?
Do you know who to call so you don't get trouble?
Do you know the business deal between the snakeheads and the triads?

Takes a while but you'll get it.

Hello Laura.

Welcome to ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ!

Concerning your dissertation, you could post an advert in the Looking for section (Testimonies) in the Classifieds section selecting at least a destination. It could help.

Thank you,

That seems a little harsh, but there do seem to be a lot of people around here looking for very specific answers that only a small fraction of the people here can answer.

It's my bluff Yorkshire attitude to things.
Yorkshire people, except William Hague, aren't known for winning diplomacy contests.
We tend to call a spade, 'a spade', without considering much else.

I'm also doing a survey.  If you're a 7 foot tall albino glass blower, I need to ask you some questions about what type of outdoor shower curtains you like.
