If you're squeamish you might not want to look, but here is the pic of my friend who had the 'cupping' experience we talk about in the Chinatomy segment.  Don't say we didn't warn ya!  :D

Five years ago, a friend of mine went back to China. We were instant-messaging each other one day. He had just told me that he got his marriage certificate and confused the heck out of me. I was so used to the American way of couples announcing their engagement, followed later by a wedding ceremony. It took several exchanges of instant messages before I figured out the Mainland Chinese marriage custom. My friend didn't even have a wedding ceremony.

No, I should have thought to take pics though. I was too mesmerized by the needles, maybe. Maybe someone else has some they can post!

Would you be so kind as to share with us the Chinese used by zhaojie?

I believe there were three statements relating to; residence book, non-relation confirmation and voluntary marriage confirmation.

Thanks
J
