In the new system, Pinyin, the province is known as Guang Dong. Its capital is Guang Zhou. Famous for seafood, and forged coins. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 03/15/2008 11:05 am The candareen is a Chinese unit of weight. "7.2 candareens" is the weight of a 10 cents. Unfortunately, Kwangtung imperial 10¢ weren't dated, so all we can say is "somewhere between 1890 and 1908". Listed in Krause under the name of the province, KM/Y# 200. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
