John, How about some 小笼包 for an appetizer? For green vegetables, how about some 豆苗 or 空心菜?How about some fried rice? One can never go wrong with 扬州炒饭. Happy New Year!

Jenny reports to John? And I thought everyone except for Ken, reports to Jenny. :) May I suggest a lesson on Astroboy in the future? Cpod shouldn't discriminate against Astoboy after teaching all of us about Ninjas and Godzilla. ;-)

In the 90s, I worked with a Chinese woman who said that she doesn´t want to give birth to a daughter in the year of the dragon. Going back further back in time to my teenage years, I seem to recall some male classmates saying that they will never marry a girl born in the year of the tiger when the time comes for marriage. What´s so bad about being a female born in the year of the Tiger? Now Amber, have you ever supported this "little guy" coffee shop called 上海星巴克? I saw one a few blocks away from Nanjing Road when I was in Shanghai a year ago.
