Sure there is! Marry them! lol ! i think you meant to be talking to the other direction, this is the choir youre preaching to over here !

i'm on a national geographic mailing list and saw it that way... the story about how they just throw up a brand new town with factories included, all in a month or 2, is just awesome to me - again and again i had to stop reading it and just sit in amazement and how efficiently you can do things on the scale of millions of people when you don't have the problems that come from the people being (for good reason) cynical about who will profit from government decisions. Anyone who reads that edition and doesnt see why China will be running the world economy in a very short time is not paying attention there's really just no way to compete in the long-term with a culture that's still healthy after a 4-5000 year head-start, is there

aha ! the key to a gold mine ! my weekend is now officially absorbed i have a feeling that the lyrics will not be in english if i could find them but that's ok, i love just listening to the flow of the language even i have no idea what is being said - thank you soooooo much !

thank you thank you thank you ! baidu makes me crazy, I know there's so much I would like there but if you can't read and write the language, forget it sure wish they would make an english version, or at least some subtitles that say click here for the oldies, here for the female pop, here for the male pop, etc oh well, one more thing to spend time doing with wife and daughter next time I'm there, memorizing what is where

hmmm if the husband is that bad, you would think he would notice there's some symbols or spoken words (I'm not clear if it's just a written language of secret symbols or actual words that no one understands if they haven't been taught) in the picture guess it would work if her problem is that he mostly ignores her, but not so good if he's the controlling type

who's kidding who, women have always had the secret language they use to back each other up with - never knew there was a written version tho seriously, this is fascinating... no speakers here at work - is it just new symbols for words everyone knows, or is it really a different language with new words ? does the clip give any clues about why they needed a secret language and why it's coming back now ?

my all-time favorite is short and sweet and simple and that's what makes it so powerful from the guy that led the way for me thru so many ups and downs, like the older brother I never had - Love is real , real is love Love is feeling , feeling love Love is wanting to be loved Love is touch, touch is love Love is reaching, reaching love Love is asking to be loved Love is you, You and me - Love is knowing we can be Love is free, free is love Love is living, living love Love is needing to be loved John Lennon The music is really nice too, but the video is not so great if you don't know what's going on and why -

I love seeing this side of you, man... and the new stuff in your timeline spot is so right on I think ms. rabbit got lucky (as tom petty might say)

At work now so no time to dig deep, but youtube searches do come up with hits for: Zhao Yonghua Jiang Meiqi Vivian Xu Wan Fang Na Ying Tian Zhen Liu Ruoying Liang Jingru Chen Huilin Fan Xiaoxuan Xu meijing Wen Lan Lin Yilian Su Huilun Fan Xiaoxuan Xu Ruyun In other words, almost all of the singers you list I'll be looking forward to doing some new playlists myself, thanks !

let me re-phrase - tea from china, well of course, no big deal medicine ? hmmm we better check into this now, read between the lines your bags, you wont freak about official attention like she might

my impression is that either way can be tricky There is a type of tea (that is not a medicine but is a mix of several ingredients) that is served with every meal at one of our favorite restaurants in guangzhou. I asked my wife to send me some and she said the postal people told her it is not allowed, because one of the ingredients is considered a medicine. And of course when boarding the plane to come to this country, they check the carry-ons on both ends of the flight. On this end, would they allow something thru when they have no idea what it is ? (you can bet that they won't have a clue) So far, what has worked for me has been to put it in the checked luggage, and on the US side, be sure on the little customs form to declare that you are bringing in some tea.

yeh, she's great huh ? hard to believe she came in 3rd in some kind of tv contest

oh you want to load your ipod ? here's my playlists, I think you'll find some stuff you like - http://www.youtube.com/profile_play_list?user=jim404sea also, there's some good music (but no videos) at a site that uses music to help people learn mandarin - go to china-8.com and sign up for a free account (don't worry, I've never gotten any spam as a result). After you log in to the account, you will see a menu choice at the top for 'chinese songs' and that will take you to a screen where you can pick from 20 pages of songs, 25 songs per page, and save them into a playlist too. If you like superstar, you'll probably also like the ones by Jolin Tsai - I had not idea that there was such a thing as Chinese hip-hop, but there's some really good stuff there, I think. Lots of good oldies too. I got the names of a lot of good singers that I could then search youtube for. And my wife and I's favorite love song of them all is an oldie there, # 15, called 'tears of a lover' 情人的眼泪 by a famous singer from the 60's called Cài Qín 蔡琴 - she has a voice that makes you want to cry even if you don't know why There's several versions of the same song in my youtube playlists but nobody can touch this woman's voice. neither youtube or the china-8 site is set up to make downloads for your ipod easy, but it can be done

well, I can't keep quiet on this topic... I didnt make these, I've just made a hobby of collecting them into playlists My wife and I really like the oldies but I've also been surprised by some really good pop groups - it's a kick to see rock feels just as good, no matter what language it's in... 'superstar' makes me feel like I'm 20 again are they all love songs ? got me - they all make me want to hug my wife tight, that's close enough for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PETLiEzazxA...36D&index=0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcZY7vJjQwY...48&index=25 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61CNwn5vdrg...548&index=0

Darnell - Whenever you get back around to making this real, or if you need some more hands working to keep it rolling while youre dealing with the other business and financial matters that you mention, call on me. I'm itching to throw a little speed bump in the way of these stuffed-shirt, little tin gods. If you havent already nailed down the name of this NGO, I think it would be great to call it the Rabbit Protection Agency - anyone asks, we can direct them to tsap
