Has anyone seen the North Korean pavilion?  I am just so curious.

Well, I'm glad to hear that. I've been afraid that it is simply big.

That is a funny point. I bet there are a heckuva lot of Americans that can't afford to travel. I always envy Europeans for having so many very distinct countries to easily go to on the weekend. Even during the best of economic times, Americans basically only have two convenient choices: Mexico and Canada. Poor Canadians. They only have us.

Hey Yase,

Thanks for letting me know, and no worries, I won't start an argument with you :-)

Condescending? Yikes! I dare say that is even more disappointing than being boring. Might I ask how is it that it gave you that impression? By the way, by saying 'missing out' do you mean, you heard it was good, or you just didn't see it?

Thanks for the input.

Has anyone gone to the American one?  I remember that it almost didn't happen.  Since it all happened at the last minute, I guess it is pretty boring.  I hope I'm wrong.

I just checked the dictionary. Seems like 隆胸 and 隆乳 are the best choices.

I made a post related to this lesson here, if anyone is interested.

darkstar, you hit the nail on the head. The original Qing Wen's weren't as good as now. Now there is a perfect blend of humor and getting things done. I might add that the Pete, Jenny and Connie trio was excellent as well.

(This part is a general statement for everyone.) Personally, I don't have a problem with Liliana's accent. I love Spanish accents from all countries. Furthermore, Mexicans are generally nice people and work hard, not too mention their country is home to some of my favorite dishes, which is to say that as a whole I like Mexicans.

A part of me in the beginning, when Liliana first joined, thought perhaps there should be another Chinese pro in there. I'm not really to enthusiastic about "hey, he/she is a learner like the rest of us, isn't that great" kind of thinking, but she handles her function well, so no problem.

I'm using my cell, so I didn't include tones.
