| 23rd April 2007 JIMMY F | SPIT WADS - From: Xi an Pronounced She an The spitting is an "ancient Chinese secret hunh". Seriously, the spitting is from the Zing era. The popular Zing Zang emperor during the Zing times believed that the more often you spit and the larger the spit wad you would be casting away evil spirits. So that the history of spitting in china. So everyone go out and spit a huge one. That is awesome that you are having a blast. Oh yea, I cracked up about your statement with the picture of these 2 old Chinese guys sitting down. You stated that would be me and Pete someday. Thanks Lipka. As Lipka always said at work "asa lamalaka -----" can't write the rest down. |
| 22nd April 2007 Carmine | Loud Bikes - From: Xi an Pronounced She an I asked Jen (Lou's wife) about the difference with traditional Chinese bikes and the loud bikes that Jason rented. Her parents said that loud colored bikes (or much of anything else for that matter) is typically reserved for houses of ill repute. You should certainly avoid giving a gift of anything that is loud Green as that implies that the recipients sister is a prostitute. (Great in Kazaqstan, not so good in China) |
