What is the Cathay Cafe?
Exiled by nefarious means (Okay, in truth, it’s a self-imposed banishment) to the Goat Horn Hutong district of Qingdao, the Cathay Cafe is under the joint proprietorship of authors Zhao Fang and Timothy Green; we’re the underground force propagating phonetics over Pinyin in our book entitled SPEAK E-Z CHINESE In Phonetic English. We’re the metaphorical hitching post and point of rendezvous for the wayfarer in China . As authors and innkeepers, we’ll be serving you a generous amount of helpful travel information, as well as our revolutionary Chinese language instruction in phonetic English.
