Thanks for the response ! I do plan on kind of just visiting as a tourist. I'll have to think about it a bit more, because on one hand I really do want to learn Chinese. But those 4,000 characters seem to be really daunting. I think your point is that if I'm going to go in, I need to go all in and actually learn to read too. I do have an abundance of free time so maybe I'll try.
