I'll plead guilty, but only to introducing Amber to some excellent rock: http://www.piaowutong.com/main/zhuanti/musicmare/music/erguang_5.mp3 This is family concert material in Beijing.

@artkho, Let's say (hypothetically speaking) you buy someone a lovely gift. Being considerate and thoughtful, you get them something they'd never buy themselves, like an XBox. Presume further that, as the fates will have it, you end up using this more often than they do. You'd would be wrong to call it 我的 XBox.... I believe this is conventional and principle linguistic usage. Amber has some explaining to do.

I've been thinking of turning the jingle into a stand-alone 4 minute tune. Then get some airtime on the radio. It'll be a bit like the song that made Friends famous. When it's done, maybe we can devote a separate News & Features episode to it. That way the jingle introduces... itself. Sort of.

I don't think Zhang Ziyi is really exceptionally beautiful, but she definitely has spunk and is self-driven, and that's attractive. The most beautiful girls I've seen in China have been from Inner Mongolia though, so maybe 北方 really does 有 佳人.
