I waited two hours just for seeing the appearance of the athletes from
"Chinese Taipei" in the opening ceremony of the Olympics, and finally
it's "Swaziland". After the commercial, however, the camera switched
to the Torch outside the stadium and what did I see next? "Tchekoslovakia"
(Czechoslovakia).........

I can't help but say: Gan, NBC! (If my memory serves me right, they
screwed me up 4 years ago, too).

Really now... I'm absolutely positive that your country wasn't the only
one overlooked during the opening ceremonies, and I am equally positive that
the U.S. broadcast media is not different from much of the rest of 
the world in not providing "equal" coverage to all nations.

Apurva, GOOD LUCK looking for deals!  
About visas, almost all asian countries require visas,
so I'd get one.  I was just there a few weeks
ago, and to tell you the truth, you aren't gonna find anything
anywhere near cheaper than stuff in the U.S.  (except for food
probably)!  It is just crazy there--all the clothes are imports,
and electronics are pretty expensive too.  Basically, don't
count on finding too many bargains.  Software is cheap there I think.
If you want to know
where you can buy a lot of computer/audio (especially speakers)/software
stuff, go to Chung Hwa road, it's near the train station.
By the way, if you're really looking for a laptop computer,
my aunt sells a good one for a pretty good price, email me if you want more
info.   Also, the duty free shops are still pretty expensive (at least
for me) since they sell such high-luxury stuff.  Well, have a good trip.

The following account falls in the realm of "urban folklore", but
it does give a plausible explanation of how fortune cookies came 
into being. 

An old friend of mine is a Chinese art dealer in San Francisco. 
Before opening his own store, he worked for several years as a 
buyer for Marsh, an old Oriental antique store in the city. 
According to my friend, the fortune cookie was something
concocted by "old Marsh", the original proprietor of the store,
as a gimmick to sell in the Japanese garden in Golden Gate Park
when it opened in the 30's. Supposedly, the first batch of cookies 
was made by a Japanese baker (which explains why they doesn't taste 
like Chinese pastry), while the paper fortune was something dreamed 
up by "old Marsh". The "Chinese fortune cookie" was a big hit 
with gullible Americans, and quickly adopted by Chinatown 
restaurants.  The rest is history.

I do not vouch for this story by any means, and heartily welcome
any other explanation for this curious artifact.

Sorry to say this, but in 1984 the Olympic gold medal in baseball went to
Japan.  USA was silver, and Taiwan was bronze.  As somebody said, Taiwan has
never won a gold medal (or did they in '88 for Taw Kwon Do???)

That brings me to another question: How many medals has Taiwan won in Olympic

One of my Chinese friends is married to an American woman, and a friend
of a friend is another Chinese man married to an American woman.  Guess 
out of about 20 Chinese friends and such, 2 of 20 isn't so rare.
One friend, an American man, is married to a Chinese woman.  Of course,
my "sample size" is too small to draw any real conclusions.

Fortune Cookies: I have no idea where they came from,
but.... here's a little game. Add the words "In Bed"
or "between the sheets" to the end of every fortune
that you get in a cookie.

Sushi: Originally was raw fish or eggs on top of vinegared
rice in a bowl or bento box. Then evolved into raw fish on
a portion of seasoned rice formed into an oblong shape
in the palm. Then evolved into a "roll" with Nori. Once
it was a roll, people started putting veggies and other
stuff in it. I once went to party where they served only
"vegetarian" sushi. Needless to say, I was appalled.

Egg Rolls and Spring Rolls: In Boston, many restaurants
serve both. My guess is that Egg Rolls are a bastardized
version of Spring Rolls that were invented more to suit
American tastes. Then people wanted more authentic Chinese
cuisine, so the Spring Roll version made a recovery some
few years ago. Here at least.... thank goodness.

Well, after watching the rebroadcasted game, I agree with you.  I don't
think Tsai Minghong was doing a good job.  I agree that we have a good
chance to beat US.  But don't forget Japan is also a good team.  If we
beat Japan, we will have a good chance to win a silver medal.

Well, actually sometimes I'll walk up to a chick and say sometime in Chinese
to her.  It's a great conversation starter (not a pickup line, BTW do they
really work?).  My first girl friend was an American, so  is my next, etc.
I've got one korean chick before, but now I'm back to American.  By American,
I assume that we're aren't talking about Jews or Blacks.

I find Chinese girls to be hard to get; they are usually more restrictive. 
Also, I was born in Taiwan, and came here at about 7, so I still have all
my Chinese qualities and views.

These are just some of my thoughts too.  I'd say, if you like a chick go

Just one question, is the statement true or not?  Do Taiwanese men frequent
the massage parlor named?  Negative image or no, if it is true then there

	A very responsable father after helped his kid who's trying to
	solve a mathematic question told his kid; "Well, there's nothing
	wrong with you, you just need more practice."

	"I feel I am really dumb." his kid replied.

	"No, you are not."

	"Yes, I am."

	"No, you are not dumb, dummy." The father replied angrily.


PS: zenism emphasis that "No anger is the discipline one need." Only
when one can put down the anger, one can really purify his mind.
