It is generally considered that some ancient tones in Chinese are preserved in dialects. Wuxi dialect actually has more tones than Mandarin. (e.g. the tone of 入 is diffrent from the four tones in Mandarin)
I am Canadian. I have lived in Wuxi, China since September 2004. I teach English. In this blog, I recount the things I have seen and the experiences I have had here in Wuxi. I also make comments on things that strike my reactionary fancy.

p.s. "13:00" is something like "idiot" :-)
