jen,

I agree - it's marvelous. I even have mine connected to my credit card so I don't have to bother to have it recharged.

Actually I don't like soccer but I love they way they get together and watch the games. I was trying to buy something last night and the guy in front of me had a cart full of things to enjoy while watching the game.

Thanks jen,

We had to buy a new TV for my father-in-law before the World Cup started. It's amazing that in the shopping center below our apartment they have set up a stage with a big tv for people to watch the games.

Is the World Cup on "regular tv" in China?  Here in Hong Kong it is only on 1 major cable company and I'm with the other company.

Hey sydcarten,

We shall have to talk more about this when the Cantonese series comes. I've got several from Greenwood Press.

I agree. I learned using the Yale system. I think there is still interest in Sidney Lau's books. You can still seem them on the bookshelves here in Hong Kong. However, there are very few people learning Cantonese - well at least from what I see.

I'm looking forward to the Cantonese lessons.

I was wondering who this new guy was and then I saw it was you. It's been years since I got a D on a report about "The Great Gatsby". I haven't seen the movie but will have to check it out.

Wasn't there a bunch of stuff about green lights/ red lights - or am I just forgetting it?

I'm really looking forward to this.  I wonder how many people actually try to learn Shanghainese.  I guess there are not a lot of learning materials available.
