        <description><![CDATA[i gave it a stab and tried to find me a
chinese name, following roughly the
sound of it. my name is alberto, one
syllable gets cut off, so it's either like
erbei or beituo beiduo, but it's been
so far discomforting to find out that
the only combinations available are:
耳背 er3bei4, hard of hearing
悲痛 bei1tong4 grieved

so i'm picking an entirely new one
and i think it's gonna be 恐龙 kong3
long2, dinosaur, which is infinitely
better!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Great memories of China in this show!
Street food is great just make sure it is HOT and well cooked. watch the ice in the beer ???  it will get you for sure !! 

Re Safety crossing the road. walk on the red light to cross the street as you know where the car that hits you is coming from!!!  Ha Ha .... never make eye contact with the driver or he will not stop!! it works for the Chinese... take my word for it! ..and walking on footpath expect the un expected and you will be safe. as it is used for everything but walking!!   As for Shanghai and most BIG cities in China as a westerner you are very safe walking at all times of the night .... ]]></description>
