<font color=skyblue>I think food is a very important part of my life, as I love eating food very much. The chinese way of cooking is very healthy and delicious. Chinese and Japanese is my favorite meals. Of course, I am not talking about the fast food version...but the authentic kind.

I also think about the floods over there in that area, and if anyone of our members are affected.</font>

I only think on fireworks and it is alot of peoples living there.

China: Overpopulated, one-child per home rule, boys are more important were (honestly) the first things that actually popped into my head. :(
Fantastic history, fascinating culture, the Great Wall, hills & river valleys (the big dam project :( ), great food, & woks quickly followed; right before New Year's, Dragons & fireworks.
We have plans to build a deck in the backyard with a stone grill that we can convert into a wok (removable grills that can be replaced with an actual wok). I won't allow it to be built unless I can have it that way lol.

EDIT: I hate stupid little typos that screw up a whole word lol

1 bilion people and terrifying abortion laws...

Eh, just single thought: "Not a nice place." It might very well be one, but for some reason the single thought that I get when I think of China is that I do not want to be there.

Hi WillowIX, but can you clarify this please? I am not aware of any different abortion laws than here in Britain. I mean many people think China is awful place from information they got 5 or 10 years ago. but remember China changes rapidly everyday. [img]smile.gif[/img]
