@TimmyMac BTW, if you buy more fountain pens (and you will!), there are many good cheap Chinese ones available. I have a JinHao that is a pleasure to write with, despite being like one-fifth of the price of some other pens I own.

@RobinMarx @TimmyMac Chinese pens are so fun and so cheap! The only thing for me is that I prefer broad nibs and Chinese (and Japanese too,) pens mostly come with fine or very fine nibs, which I assume is better for writing those characters. Also since Chinese kids use fountain pens there are a lot of very cheap plastic ones with cartoons and stuff, which are also fun. Like this one, don't know who the character is, that cost a couple bucks in a school supply store in Chinatown.
