哈哈，今天保证让你大开眼界。你以前看到的大都是广东特色的，因为在唐人街广东人比较多。但中国地大物博，不同地方有不同特色的表演，民间文艺少说也有几百种。

就知道问你也白问！照你这么说，凡是叫"Town" 的地方都得叫"唐人街" 啰？前边的"China" 给撇到哪边去了？

I knew it would be pointless to ask you! By your logic, shouldn't all places with a ``town" in their names be called ``Chinatown?" What happened to the China at the beginning?
