        <description><![CDATA[<p>Yeah,</p>
<p>I'm always tempted to go for Executive plan, but unfortunately I'm not on an executive wage...............</p>
<p>Don't think many people are now.... especially investment bankers or traders. Someone actually told me some great jokes about the financial industry:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>JOKE 1:</p>
<p>Q - What's the difference between a guy who has lost everything in Las Vegas and an Investment Banker?</p>
<p>A - A Tie.</p>
<p><br />JOKE 2</p>
<p>Q - What's the difference between a bond and a bond trader?</p>
<p>A -&nbsp; A bond matures.</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I got a technical question. I just bought a PDA recently and it uses Adobe Reader LE 2.0.</p>
<p>I thought it would be very useful to listen to Chinesepod in the Metro and also look at the pdf dialogues. But there seems to be problems. I can see the ChinesePod logo at the top when i open the pdf files, but nothing else is displayed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Does anyone else use a PDA or PPC to look at Chinesepod's pdf?</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Executive Plan is ok if you don't have any one to practice with on a weekly basis. I think if you have at least one or two good chinese conversations each week, that's fine. The rest of the time you can talk to yourself:)</p>
<p>p.s. I also have a cold - 威士忌酒柠檬蜂蜜 mixed then slightly heated... ahhh!</p>]]></description>
