Bill, why us, the long serving faithful ones that've helped the local economy to grow? we know too much. some of us aren't for the "cultural thing" anymore either. the other day someone asked me; "where are you from?" i said in chinese that i was from china. i cracked the youngster laughing. when i went on, in chinese, that i was from urumuqi, xinjiang, this young english language student was ready to piss his pants. after admitting that i was just pulling his leg, i told him that i stayed in china longer than him. saddenly, all the laughing stopped. :)
cheers and beers to the new meaning of globalization on mainland :LOL
