  1. So many babies born in China, this doesn't seem to be so bad. However, it is still a big problem. Chinese baby "Every hour a baby is born in China with syphilis, as the world's fastest-growing epidemic of the disease is fueled by men with new money from the nation's booming economy, researchers say."
  2. Boil water is lifted just now. Back to good tab water. Still have to flush out the bad water.
  3. Pretty soon Delta will merge with American.
  4. Luckily we have an electric hot water pot. They recommend boiling at least one minute. They don't want you to use tab water for brushing teeth and for washing dishes by hands.
  5. Workers are trying repair a pipe that burst yesterday, leaving 2 million Greater Boston residents without clean drinking water. Really a pain. Cannot use tab water to brush teeth. Had to drive over 20 miles to get bottle water yesterday. Hope it won't last more than a few days.

    Year of Hell

    Congrats for your wife.
  11. A better question is: Who do you save? Pick one only. Your mom, your wife, your grand father, your daughter, or your grand son.
  12. Cheaper to relocate in smaller cities. However, Boston's Asian immigrants are still getting bigger. --------------------------------------------------- http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20100315/ts_csm/287667 "New immigrants who once flocked to the large "gateway" cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Chicago are now heading for smaller metropolitan areas like Detroit and Minneapolis, Colorado Springs, Colo., Sarasota, Fla., and El Paso, Tex., according to the the study, released by the Lusk Center for Real Estate at the University of Southen California."
  13. I just bought a I-Touch. It is like a I-Phone without the phone and camera. If you get free WiFi or internet at home, you can use it to surf too. Tons of Apps one can download for free or a small fee. I have a good English to other language translator. Maybe a good tool for your gal.
  14. Not worth driving in China (too much risks). Just hire a driver. It is cheap.
  15. Playing with firecrackers can be dangerous. It is illegal in MA to play with firework. However, it is legal in Boston Chinatown on the day of the Spring Year celebration (on one Sunday). I stayed away because of the noise and smoke. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/02/2...kers/index.html "A celebration of China's lunar new year turned deadly as a firecracker explosion killed 19 and wounded dozens, state media reported Saturday. The incident occurred in southern China's Guangdong Province on Friday night, Xinhua news agency reported."
  16. Good game. I love Female figure skating and short track skating.
  17. As long your DVDs are not same one, then you should be alright. Worst case they just take away from you.
  18. If you just bring back Chinese DVDs, you won't have any problem.
  19. http://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/tts_...ple.php?sitepal Pretty neat. Put some Chinese characters and it will pronounce the characters.
