It's hard to pretend that food isn't the number 1 most important thing in Chinese culture, too :-)

I'd quite like to know this too? The only time I've seen them with women is when they are acting as formal hostesses, e.g. showing important guests around etc. Never seen a modern chinese man in traditional dress outside kung fu circles!

From what I gather, is that pretty normal then Jenny? The latchkey-ness, rather than the buying microwave ovens :)

I guess in the old days, grandparents could have looked after them, but with massive urban migration, things are different?

Then again, she was also sent to England on her own at 17, so maybe she's just... uh, indepedent? :-p

Hmn, my girlfriend says she was regularly left to get home on her own from the age of 8, because her dad was working away and her mum didn't get home until later. I don't know if that's typical though.

According to my girlfriend, they just say "HEY, why are you so fat?" a lot.

Which makes my girlfriend sound fat. Which she's not.

Kinda wishing I hadn't posted this.
