wonder word: long time no see

Long Time No See
/lɔŋ-taym-now-siy/

Hello, long time no see.

“Long time no see” is a common greeting in American English for a friend you haven’t seen in a long time.

I didn’t post a blog for 3 weeks because I was traveling in China, so … hello, long time no see.

Chinese has the same greeting … using the same word order.

And for something else that is the same in China and in the U.S.,  look at what these children in a small mountain village are doing.

And do you know what these village dancers do after a performance?
