I dunno about the lime and mustard seed in Taiwan ,but the rest of it sounds right. I remember a taxi driver had a cup he'd spit it into [and then he offered me some].

I don't know whether you have heard spoken Tok Pisin (by a native speaker I mean)

...only bits and pieces...short phrases don't seem so hard but I know what you mean...you would start to get lost in a convo and definitely easier to read [it's like a decipherable code..you just have to get the vibe [as in a feeling for how it's spoken] and off you go,hehe ]. It's funny you should ask this because I just so happened to chat to a native Tok Pisin speaker not long after posting my last comment above today.

yeah,I have seen "bilong"...and gathered thats Tok Pisin...but I'm pretty sure it's still "blong" in Bislama, though I'm not certain.

没有。。为什么？。。我不要同意，我喜欢这个争论，呵呵

[not having that....why? I don't wanna agree...I like this debate,hehe ]

老实说，我不知道如果证据存在，不过我怀疑没有，而且，我怀疑他们不知道

[to be frank, I don't know if there is evidence in existence or not,but I suspect there isn't ,and furthermore,I doubt they knew]

btw ...some of us still haven't worked out where all these kids are coming from ;)

..不过，你应该记得潜伏期，而且大多数无症状。最后关于：

[but ,you should remember the incubation period,and furthermore the majority are asymptomatic.Finally ,regarding:]

years of observation

时常是多世纪，毕竟这种联系往往并不明显

[often this was many centuries,after all this kind of connection was often not obvious]

Non native english speakers can not follow it

..中国人也不明白我的中文，呵呵

[Chinese also can't understand my Chinese,hehe]

that should be:

it's called "pig latin" [in English we say "pig latin"]

Posted on: Hungry Traveler: Shanghai

that should be translated as:

I've heard this,but how would they have known in those times? After all trichinosis wasn't discovered until many centuries later.

比如 bǐrú...for example

that should have been translated as:

"in former times civilised man was afraid to eat human meat"

..ouch,are you implying in modern times man is not afraid to eat human meat?
