Hello, any suggestion for nice jazz bars in shanghai? Wanna hang out sometimes...

I have been to cotton club, but found it a bit bored.

Let me help you to avoid making an embarrassing mistake.

Many Chinese have told me they're "boring". They don't know it means they are uninteresting people. Boring is a quality someone or something has. If you're boring, no one will want to be around you.

What they usually means is that they are "bored". This is a feeling experienced by a person when there's nothing interesting for them to think about or do.

So the club can't be "bored" -- it can only be boring.

A person can either be bored (if that's how they feel) or boring (because they, like the club, are dull and uninteresting).
