It's amazing how 口音 alters not only from city to city, but in large cities from one side to the other. Thank heavens though us 沈阳人 have no accent ! :-)

I would like to hear more interviews though. Maybe not people right off the street but those with particular experience or knowledge of the day's topic.

I don't think i've ever contracted MPS myself,  but i have noticed it being more pronounced in areas where foreigners are fewer, such as Shenyang, Fushun and Anshan.  It's not just Americans that can get it,  I've seen it in Russians and Europeans as well.
