Of course it's ok for me but ask someone from the US instead.

Nowadays, to avoid the high slit of the traditional dress, we can even find Qipao in Spandex (elastane). ;o)

October 6, 2008 at 9:50 AMAbout the Cpod copyright there's a strange information on this page :
*ChinesePod lessons 1-1127 only, SpanishPod lessons 1-295 only, FrenchPod lessons 1-107 only, ItalianPod lessons 1-75 only, MP3 lesson content is licensed under a Creative Commons 3.0 Unported license.
As today Cpod lesson is number 1002, does it mean that the next 125 Cpod lessons will still be under Creative Commons license ?

Actually, if you look closely they try to bring for each language some "cultural concept" of the best socialization place to discuss Wikinews.
Changye,
I always thought every place with "red light" had bad connotations. I'm glad to know it's not always true in Japan where it could mean "eat and drink at reasonable price".

Here is a little anecdote about the Watercooler area which is an important place of socialization in the US. Wikinews brings you the places of socialization of different cultures :
English Wikinews: Water cooler
Chinese Wikinews: 茶馆 (tea house)
French Wikinews: Salle café (coffee room)
German Wikinews: Pressestammtisch (news room)
Italian Wikinotizie: Bar (bar)
...
Japanese Wikinews: 赤提灯 (red light bar) ;o?
Changye do you really agree with that ?

Don't worry. When you blame your country for a discrimination you never experienced and talk proudly about your so-called superior ethnic origin, for me you don't sound chinese at all. ;o)
