May 9, 2008 at 5:20 AMJennyzhu Thank you for telling me about Yeeha! I will have to try it out. Yao's seems to be popular as a Chinese tourist destination here and the food, as I was told tonight by my group from Chengdu and Dallian, comes from all over China and was authentic. Two foo dogs are out in front. I asked my guests if anyone could tell the male from the female. They could not but looked pretty silly as they examined the lions. Does anyone here know the answer?

May 8, 2008 at 2:33 AMOne of the greatest things about Chinesepod.com is that you remember many of the things the way Jenny says them. Then, they come out of your mouth and you remember, aaahh, wasn't she sweet the way she said "black" in Mandarin.

May 8, 2008 at 2:15 AMTomorrow I take 4 visitors from Dalian to Yao's, Yao Ming's family's restaurant here in Houston. It was their choice. Food is so much fun and China is such a rich place to explore different foods. Nice.

April 19, 2008 at 5:14 PMI can't believe this introduction! Last week in Beijing I was stretching after a large lunch while waiting for my cab. A very thin driver with a big, gap tooth smile gave me the "Buddha belly noogie" you spoke of! Now, back in the states, I was listening to your lesson before I head to the gym to work it off!

The female usually has her left paw on a small cub, a group of kids or something that represents children. Thus, she controls the matters regarding family. If you are Chinese and go with me to dinner then I will always ask you if you can tell the difference between the two. If you cannot then it will be my pleasure to remind you that it took an American to show you the difference between a Chinese male and female! Alwingate My home is still in Houston. The Bushes come from the Northeast but George Sr has a home close by and GW in Crawford (central Texas). I have a small office in Shanghai, several groups of business partners and travel all over China. I came initially for business but stayed because I love the people here.
