I used to work at a Chinese restaurant and I really grew to love them and their culture, insofar as my little Western mind could grok it. I will say that I think the biggest difference between the Chinese and the Japanese is that China has no problem faking shyt, whereas Japan would find a way to do it for reals. I blame the government, not the people. The Chinese are hardworking and they have little time or respect for anyone who is not, but the type of system they live under (particularly now) is so freaking schizo they don't know what to do. Just look at the seats sitting empty in all the pavilions, even though they were supposedly sold out. They're all running around, freaking out, and even have 'cheer squads' to try to pump up the crowds. No doubt some heads will roll over this.....China's got one foot in the Western world, the other in a Maoist one, and their heads and hearts belong to the 4,000 plus years of history that is imprinted on their genes. I love the Chinese, hate their government.

Ok - you're all busted for hijacking the LashPair thread, which was about the 2008 Opening Ceremony. My ABC post was just to add verisimilitude.

This entitles both LashBear and LashStoat one incursion each on a thread of our choice. For example, if the topic is Cars, we can interject with a post about needle-point.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

That's ok- someone will turn that into needlepointed seatcovers for cars.

I submit that Wendy's post was entirely ON topic seeing that it pretty well summarizes exactly the message I got out of the ceremony. "We're good people, we know our government gives you the willies, to be honest it kinda gives us the willies, but, eh, we're used to it and it's all we know, so cut us some slack, we're working on it."

incursions revoked.

Sorry, but they worked on it 20 years ago and look what happened. The government just kind of let the protestors do their thing until they'd had enough, and then they rolled in the tanks and just ran over everyone.
