... Buddhist gods must be really important, why else do they get names like "Pure Vital Breath Primordial Sovereign of the Big Dipper in Middle Heaven"? Makes you appreciate our God who doesn't need a fancy name to impress.
... I saw a sign for the “Intangible National Heritage State Park”.
What is that?
I don’t know – I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

... Chinese women stay at home for 30 - 40 days after giving birth and never go outside. My Chinese friends (while in USA this past July) saw a woman with a 14 day old baby. They were shocked! Naturally, they had to inquire and the American Mom said "I'd go crazy - its only been 2 weeks and I HAD to get out."
I remember Elise and I going out when Sam was around 2 to 3 weeks old. I came home from work and she said "I gotta get out of this house NOW" We had a great dinner...he slept all the way through it (and hasn't stopped talking since).
... a local man was so unhappy in his marriage, that he faked a crime and left clues for the police to discover in hopes he would be caught. He was. He said jail was a better option than going home to his wife. The Police spokesman said "He had been drinking all day."
You think?

I think your blog will soon be turned into a book, then a book tour and then a spot on the Oprah Show....you might be the second coming of Richard Nixon in terms of US and China relations!
I think you need to learn new chinese for me...counting to 10 isn't gonna help me when we finally get to go to China!!! Although counting to 10 really helps keep us intertained in our soccer stretches!!!!! We speak engish, spanish, french, german, latin and chinese during our stretches!!!! Of course after 10 we have to switch to english for 11-20 of the chinese counting section!!!!!!
Just what kind of education are your children getting in Spartanburg, SC? Intertained? I thought that was when you were in between tain's?
Thank you for that incite to my child hood. Now all the evil internet people will come and get me cuz this is not a private site.
