I'm reminded of an episode of "King of the Hill" where Dale keeps asking Kahn whether he is Chinese or Japanese even though he has stated over and over again that he is from Laos. We have some friends that have relocated to China and will be there for five years with Caterpillar. We are looking forward to saving up to visit them in about a year and a half if we can make it work. Looks like a great place to be. All the best! and happy travels. Charlie A.

We Americans, even the ones who try not to be Ugly, tend to lump Asians together - Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. which is obviously a very narrow and screamingly inaccurate world view. I've traveled in North America and Europe. Perhaps it's time for me to consider exploring other lands and more ancient cultures. dianes last blog post..<a href="http://dmcordell.blogspot.com/2008/06/access-denied.html" rel="nofollow">ACCESS DENIED!</a> Love “overhearing” the conversation between you and Stacy about Hong Kong.

It's also funny knowing what the people behind you are saying. I have such a soft spot for Cantonese. Russell Peters has commented that everyone in Hong Kong <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wgKqOyIqQU" rel="nofollow">speaks English</a>.
