I am sorry but a fried egg on a burger is disgusting....DISGUSTING!!!

An egg is an abortion and putting a fried abortion on perfectly good ground up dead cow meat is.... disgusting.

Nobama is what is happening in the US.

The current admin does not like old people. Does not like expats either. As I am old and an expat and a Conservative I used up all my strikes.

Maybe I can get a job in Beijing as a Hygiene Vector Control Agent. I'll check with Yang Rui to see if it is ok.

Amnesty International should defend the WC Fly Rights!

For along time I would have agreed with nnoble as well. In California I dated Asian women, married a couple of them too, and from time to time witnessed them being asked, "Where are you from?" One ABC lady took great exception to this question. She pointed out that I wasn't asked where I was from. She said no one would ask a Black where he/she was from.

Here in China, we are often asked these questions which get tedious after a few hundred times. Since coming to Kunming after six years in Beijing I got in the habit of saying "我是北京人." Mostly I enjoyed the confusion looks.

Given the human need to deal in stereotypes, I can understand the Chinese need to classify us. Often I get taken as a Russian or,worse yet, a Frenchman.

On a bus last week, an elderly guy asked me something in non-putonghua Chinese and I responded I didn't understand. He grew quite loud and did some showboating about foreigners for his captive audience. After about two minutes, I asked him if he could speak Polish, French, German, Spanish, or Vietnamese in those languages, he grew silent. Nice to get a 'Gotcha' now and then.

My tutor went to a Chinese bookseller web site and bought Graded Chinese Reader 1, 2 and 3 for me. Less than 80 RMB for all three. Works out to about $4.30 USD per book.

A lot cheaper than $29.95 on Amazon.com.
