  1. Are there any other Satellite options in China? Is there anyway you can tap into like Dishnetwork or Directv?
  2. sary hrd tu tipe lafing tu hrd Totally agree! Deep down, though, you really should feel sorry for someone who can write that and honestly believe it. GZBILL, I agree with you on just about everything, except this. My question, How can somebody from another country think they know more then a native born and raised and educated from that country? What do we really know about China and it's culture? Just what we read in books and see on TV News and documentaries? In my opinion, I think the person that grew up there knows the best. When the person that grew up there shows, by what they post, that they have the grasp of a three year old, then you don't have to be a rocket scientist to be right. And it really isn't rocket science. You see this a lot in the uneducated sector -- often with poor self-esteem -- of every country where they take a non-threatening factual comment and get defensive to the point where what little reality they do hold turns into steam. Next will come the "Foreigners should get out of China!" rant and then it just goes downhill from there. Some people who grew up here never really grew up. You need to PM me. We need to talk.
  3. sary hrd tu tipe lafing tu hrd Totally agree! Deep down, though, you really should feel sorry for someone who can write that and honestly believe it. Yes, I did, am doing, will always believe in my country, not like your wife, two days after she went to America, she thought she was an American already. I suppose if I were boxed into a corner and shown to have an IQ of your average gerbil I'd come out with that comment, too. But the funny thing is that I do not have a Chinese wife. This is a cheap shot too, don't you think?

  5. Snow Beer? This is the first time I have heard of it. The next time I'm in China I will need to try it. Harbin Beer for me!
  6. Good for China! America needs to follow in China's foot steps.
  7. As if that's a record. Yep, complains anytime a comment is made using solid evidence that liberalism does not work. I just hate tax and spend solutions to problems, taxing one group in an attempt to provide welfare to another group just encourages people to stay on welfare. My wife and I were talking about a Chinese restaurant owner she knew that was having problems keeping dishwashers, what the restaurant owner was willing to pay for a dishwasher could not compete with welfare. If welfare was "WorkFare" I suspect that illegal immigrations world be less of a problem, more US residents would be doing the jobs that illegals fill. What is "liberalism"? Tax and Spend? If so compare and contrast to the previous admin of No(Low) Tax and Spend. How'd that work out? Much better than now and in future in the next few years.
  8. China is trying to keep it population busy by building the infrastructure and much needed public works projects that all can benefit by. Here in the US we have carefully planned rhetoric and are wasting over $3/4 of a trillion dollars. We are seeing the incompentance in this bailout blunder right now. The appointee that is in charge of this massive amount of tax payer debt does not bother to pay his taxes. His qualifications for this most important cabinet post: A person who knows how to cheat the system must know how to run the system. And everyone says China is the most corrupt nation on Earth. Yeah, it's pretty sad reading the news out of the US these days. All this talk about stimulus packages, and hundreds of billions of dollars being given to a failed auto industry is enough to make anyone ill. Whatever happened to common sense? I feel quite blessed to be living in China right now, as you don't hear the negativity from these people like you are hearing from the American people. This past weekend, I went out with several of my co-workers. One of the Chinese project managers asked me about the US economy, and I simply replied that I was glad to be living and working in China right now. Jesse, You are a lucky man!

  10. My wife said, it is common practice for the Chinese members of the family keeping secret of illness from other family members, mainly because they don't want the other family members to worry, especially the parents. They don't want them to worry at all.
  11. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2009-03...ent_7538000.htm Maybe?
  12. I don't like apples of any kind. I REALLY hate Strawberries or any berry of any kind. They just gross me out! Mango and Papaya no, hate them too. Do you like tomatoes? They are fruits. Really? I do eat tomatoes. I thought tomatoes was a vegetable. The U.S. Supreme Court settled the controversy on May 10, 1893 by declaring that the tomato is a vegetable. Due to the scientific definition of a fruit, the tomato remains a fruit when not dealing with US tariffs. So is a Tomato a fruit or a Vegetable? This is confusing.
  13. No "Jack in the box" sorry not in my area, thanks anyway!
  14. Jack in da boxen? We don't have anything like that here were I live. thanks anyway, I appreciate it.
  15. I like the stuff that is in salads like cucumbers, radishes, letuce, etc...
  16. I hate Fresh,Canned,mashed,grilled,fried, ect.........
  17. I like Orange juice, so that would be the same as a smoothie, right? Smoothies are great - can make with ice cream or milk or **gasp** yogurt... vodka optional, of course. Start with the output of yer juicer, toss it in a blender, add milk , vodka, etc... Maybe it's time to watch the Jack LaLaine Infomercial, the next time it's on? If you want a cheap way of 'testing' - get to a bodega or a latino fresh fruit place, ask em to make you a fresh squeezed something - and add a pinch of raw chili pepper to it during the blend - (it won't burn your mouth, just kills the fruit taste) then see if you like it - thats only 5 bucks to waste, for a test. If I seem pushy about it, well, sorry - but it's two fold, really - 1. you will live longer, over time and 2. you show her that yer listening to what she wants to do, she will be happy. It sounds good, but I am wondering about the taste. RAW CHILI pepper? that does even sound like it would work. Maybe I will try one of those 5 dollar things. Jack LaLaine, isn't he like a 100 now?

  19. Hope this is the worst of your problems yea, she just laughs at me all day and night anyway. For some reason she thinks I am funny!
  20. Your right Dave, she tells me that everyday!
  21. Grapefruit! YUK!!! that IS one of the worst! I would rather run in front of a train then eat that thing!!! YUKKKKK!!!! Is watermelon a fruit? I do like watermelon.
  22. I like Orange juice, so that would be the same as a smoothie, right?
  23. Good idea but my wife is wise to that and believes I should just eat fruit.
