You're one to talk about culture barbarians, using strange, antiquated ways to write the name of that Chinese dress! It's all Hànyǔ Pīnyīn these days, which has been an ISO standard for decades, so it is called qípáo! What you're doing is like talking in ISO 8859-1 when you can talk in UTF-8, or like how those Chinese write our prime minister's name as Mǎkè Lǚtè instead of Mark Rutte, or how some Dutch persist in writing Sjanghai rather than Shanghai! Meet the wrath of Chairman Mao! Talking about Chairman Mao, it's quite entertaining to see farmers with nothing more than a sack of rice in their hands travel from their farmlands in the backwaters of China all the way to Beijing, get on the subway and go through security just to have a look at Mao's dead body. For some, it is the absolute highlight of their lives. > Maybe you should tell those ladies you only comment on your sex life to ladies > that are actually part of it. One needs to "join the club" first. You wouldn't be suggesting that if you'd knew what these ladies look like. They do not age well over here. -- ervaqre is teh wicked
