That’s okay, there’s plenty of places in Europe and elsewhere I’ve yet to see where I need not worry about having my Bible confiscated from me when I pass customs.

One has to wonder how they make all those babies without any privacy.

No wonder their 1-child policy succeed!

The Olympic Summer Games will take place from August 8-24, followed by the Beijing Paralympic Summer Games 2008 from September 6-17.

Gee... I hope its not the same athletes...

The worst problem we experience was the concept of service. There wasn’t any. We did three-star hotels in Shanghai and Beijing. If we had a problem or questions the personnel seemed as if we were annoying them. We had to seek information outside the hotel.

Too many athletes have worked too hard to get to the Olympics … they will go. We had a chance to learn a critical lesson the last time we boycotted the Olympics (1980 (?)). (Didn’t accomplish anything.)

Most athletes only get one shot and I doubt that any would want to bypass a chance at world fame and to achieve their lifelong (hard earned) goals. Boycott, in my opinion, is not going to happen. ;-)

The concept of privacy has a different meaning in different places. In a densly populated country like China, there is privacy in the anonymity of crowds. Chinese are rather famous for not expressing their emotions, because to hide one's emotions is an act of privacy to them. They are astonished sometimes at how expressive Americans are, to them our openness violates their privacy.

You mean I've been doing it all wrong all my life?

That sign could apply to both Rat candidates for President this year.

Caution! Sidewalk has a stupid signpost right in the middle of it, just when it turns from concrete to grass.

That’s a racist sign. The green person is sitting down correctly.

One covert missionary couple . . . teaching at a univ . . .

at night . . . in bed . . . the wife whispered lovingly to hubby that she was pregnant.

The next morning, the wife of the security official for the univ congratulated her on passing her on the sidewalk on campus. No one else had been told.
