Amber and Jenny, Thanks for addressing the numbers! One follow up question: If you're reading a street address say 1421 fuxin road. do you look at each number individually to see if tis unlucky or lucky? or do you add them up and see? 1+4+2+1= 8 therefore great address? TaiPan

Henning, since you're going to be in Shanghai soon, I have a dear Amber question that maybe you can help her answer... Dear Amber, If I plan a short trip to China, which cities should I plan on visiting and why? Beijing? Shanghai? Oh, and which parts of the country are my rudimentary elementary mandarin skills useless due to dialect another language being used?

Henning, "Befriended Masseur" has got me curious. How exactly did you explain that one to your family? "Honey, I've invited this chick from the massage parlor to join us for lunch" ?

Dear Amber, What's the story behind lucky and unlucky numbers. And how about number combinations? I know the word for 'four' rhymes with death, but what do the other numbers mean? I agree with danjo, good song for the show!

tianfeng, I knew there was more to it than we all thought. Thanks! I think we need a camera and a case of baijiu taken to Chinesepod World Headquarters to determine via photographic evidence (i.e. before/after pics) who there is ALDH2*2 posititve.

Goulniky, Cool photo. BingGe, good point. I'm a huge curling fan... and Canada is the only country I know where strippers get free health care! Eileen, Enzymes or increased blood flow?

Sparchange, You've got a good ear. Kinda jarring isn't it. Canadians love working for RMB.
