Are you sure?  Da Ming became very popular after the release of
their third Album i.e. Xie Tao Jee (Story of The Stone).  Since then,
they had been quite successful for 2 to 3 years.
You said that they only copied western songs.  I bet your pardon.
Where do you get such an idea?  I only remember that there was one
of their song that was not written by Ta Ming and that song was
in their second album (as I remembered).

  I think open humiliation is not necessary. Non-open trial by a
  commitee consisting students and university administration is
  more adequate. Then it is necessary to announce the event, using 
  *real* names if he is found quilty, to the public of university. 
  Well, for the purpose of "dotting face".

  Why I stand for non-open trial is because the process of judge
  will bring humiliation(?) to the victims. Only the result is
  important to public, not the process itself. Think about the 
  "Miss ABCDE" case in HK. Why the fuss?

  By the way, open humiliation reminds me of cultural revolution.

  If he is really a frequent harassers to girls, he deserves an
  expell from university, IMHO.

Yes, you need a VISA. Even if you have right of abode in *UK* if you are
not British Citizen. Depends on the nature of your visit. You may get a
five years multi-entry visiter visa. Then the second time you renew, you 
can have an unlimited visiter visa.

>If so, how can I obtain one?

American Embassy near Park Lane in London. If you applied personally and
go there in the morning (before 10). You can get it in afternoon. If your
visa is simple, you would not have an interview, which cost money (around
8 pounds many years ago), and you only needed to step just inside the door 
of that building. BTW, you need a photo.

>Thanks in advance for your help - I need to know really soon!

Sorry, I forgot the address. But if you get a tube to Marble Arch. Walk
into a side street parallel to Park Lane (you won't walk into Hyde Park).
You would find it. It is a golden building, in front of a garden, and has
a lot of people queuing in front of it.

     Ommm, Kind of wondering why cphk uses bitnet.

     It looks to me cphk doesn't have direct internet access. If they
   hook a vax on a bitnet, what a waste. By the way, vax running vms is
   suck. (in fact, vax is suck, it is too old).

Correction.  cphk does have direct internet access.  Unfortunately, their
mailer still configured to use bitnet.  Besides,  the machine is a Vax and
they probably don't have telnet or ftp, etc on their machine.

IMHO, It really depends on what kind of jobs you are looking for?
Some posts will require to have both competency in Chinese and
other languages, others may not.

Some positions may even require the applicants must be fluent in
Manadarin and written Chinese, for example, sales for mainland
China market.  Take a real example, I myself sometimes have
to deal with Taiwanes customers, presentation would preferably
be Mandarin, even though all my presentation slides are in English.

If you are able to speak in Cantonese(perferably in HK), plus
Mandarin, it will be a plus in your applications.

BTW, your email address should be "McGill" instead of "McGil"
I believe.  It surprised me that Champlain College has allowed
students to send email, what about Dawson, Vanier or Marianopolis
College?

What do you think about the referendum to be held this Oct?
What did the poll said?  particularly in Quebec?
