I would like to start a thread on Chinese breath. Bad breath, that is. I have literally had to get off the bus on occasion, because it is just that horrific. I'm sorry if I offend any Chinese, particularly my Chinese wife, but bad hygiene is offensive to me generally. Also, I suppose that dragon's breath can apply to all Asians, not just Chinese, although I'm not sure. I would appreciate it, if any Chinese would like to comment. I also think that better dental care for all Chinese has tremendous potential.

HH is poetry with a downbeat. I'm not sure it even qualifies as music. There is no music theory training that I can see. The fact is that popular music, if not all modern music, is losing its musicality. If you look back, you'll notice this progression in the nature of music has been going on ever since the first record was published somewhere early 20th century. I suppose if people have heard it, you don't have to work so hard, but if they haven't, you have to work your ass off for them to appreciate it.

Don't worry, Alien. We know what you are up to.

Gokunming is the best expat website in China and one of the best websites on the planet. It is focused, open-minded, easy to use, and doesn't put up with over the top advertising. As with any business, it is always about its people, but I also think you can take this concept and apply it to any expat group in China and beyond.

Geezer: Alien has been around, and you haven't, clearly. Perhaps you should listen, and maybe learn something.

ASB: Either you are a white, rich, American or you are from Russia, or maybe you just watch too much American TV. Spare me, and all Americans for that matter. We don't use Russia as a benchmark for anything, except perhaps chaos.
