Well, I would like to "politely ask" for the return of the original picture and intro.  

This new picture at the front of the website, that I'm going to have to see for the next few weeks, is just in bad taste.  It reminds me of censorship, and a lack of integrity.

philren

you are correct. If one has a problem with eating animals they should become a vegetarian, and I respect that, but to condemn one group for eating dog with a mouthfull of bacon is just wrong. All this indignation re dogs is misplaced and self serving. I for one am a little upset that the picture was changed. If someone doesnt like the lesson, they can skip it. Its not that big of a deal. I would rather be treated as an adult. The world is what the world is.

Hey Light,

I know the feeling. Knowing Chinese and using Chinese are certainly different challenges. Let us know how it goes.

based on your avatar I think you could use a little, followed by a lot.

paulinurus,

I wouldnt say there is no pressure in the west to maintain face. We used to call it '"keeping up with the joneses" (meaning your neighbors or peers).You are right about warren:

"The world's second richest man lives in the same five-bedroom, gray stucco house he bought in 1958 for $31,500."

This is not the norm however.

My father in law from my first marriage was a very wealthy and powerful man (yea I know). Anyway he always played down his status including how he dressed. I remember going with him to an apartment building he was building and the workers there, having never seen him before, refused to believe he was who he said he was, and did not want to follow his orders. They expected to see a rich man in a suit. A  mistake that cost them dearly. I of course enjoyed the show immensely.

bababrdwan,

if you do a search for "wang" and then a separate one for "office" I think this gives you all of them.

bababardwan,

Im sure you are aware there is a "sets" tab inside of the lessons tab, but Wang has not been elevated to full series status yet. He does appear in the business list which is rather long however. As far as I can remember, this was the first.
