I'm joining a forum as Mulan but a more modernized version. The thing is I know absolutely nothing about Chinese culture in the least bit. Granted, the role play will be taking place in Ireland but I would imagine she'd be in for some culture shock..

I just don't know what kind of culture shock

Does anyone know of any good references of modern Chinese Culture are? I've been googling it for the last few hours and can't find much (You'd think there'd be more with the Olympics being hosted there!)

I can't think of anything per se, however, you might want to try searching for something anthropological, an ethnography done by an anthropologist.

You may want to focus on Mandarin sources. I don't know. Sorry.
