Is there a Chinese term for "pagan" or "Wiccan"?

Also, there's a documentary on the Shanghai Jews that's narrated by Martin Landau. It's called Shanghai Ghetto. I might have even read about it elsewhere on CP, not sure. Looks fantastic. Google to find the movie's website.

Now you know why I have 六 猫!

The unluckiest creature in the world is the mouse that strays into our house!

Posted on: Detroit

I can't spend all morning reading these comments, though I will eventually, but I can say that for every negative Detroit has -- and that's all outsiders hear about -- it has something extraordinary to balance it. Otherwise, I think we all would have left long ago.

I live in the city itself, btw, not the suburbs.

And Wayne State University has an amazing and growing Chinese program that I predict will soon be among the best in the country. We have a Confucius Institute program and excellent teachers. No, I don't work there, I'm just a happy daxuesheng!
