Qn: State?? Province??

Sep 16, 2008 23:51

Was trying to translate "Province" in Chinese for a friends of mine who is a chinese speaker but trying to learn English...
But instead I was confused by the following English words instead.

QN: What is the different between "State" and "Province" (other than the spelling, no of letters it contain, blah blah)

Take for example:
Bangkok is a province of Thailand and
Washinton DC is a state of America

But both are a subset of the country ?? @_@

A recall for those who is unaware: Singapore is neither but a City! XD

Feel free to Share your thought ;3

question, personal, confusing
