Amber,

Stick to the fruit topic. It was cute, good photos, and a lot of interesting information.

The moment you start talking and asking a timid male "expert" about sex in China...your credibility (and ChinesePod's for that matter) goes out the window.

In a country of a billion+, what do you think pushed that number up so high? It wasn't great TV programming, that's for sure!

Sex "in China" is alive and kicking in every corner of every small and big city, at every hour of every day...and done by everybody of just about every age, with or without concent.

Sex "in China" is the local, federal, and international currency. Women know that and so do men...with the former having a better grasp of it's purchasing power.

If you're going to "tap" into a topic like this, I suggest you go out and interview anybody, anywhere, anytime...the cab driver, the elevator attendant, the hotel doorman, the college student, the 9 to 5 people, the retail clerk, the construction worker (male or female), the old man at the park, etc.

Then just play their anonymous answers on the air and let us draw our own imperfect and biased conclusions about sex "in China".

nothing wrong with the sound. That's how chinese people talk to me after I respond to their first question with "是的”or "对"...my native-like pronounciation of those two words sets them off!

Dear Amber, The frantic speed of your words makes me question the "slowness" of mine. Have I been in China that long? Has my "zen" lifestyle: bicycle crusin', chopstick lickin', Jay Chou whistlin'...affected my English skills? Or am I just another California surfer guy going "wow dude, chill a minute, where's the fire?" Is that how Americans talk now? haven't been back in 3 years...
