Lalee speaks really good, too. I wonder how other members sound like. *dreaming*
We should arrange a meeting at Skype sometime, don't you think?
It would be nice to hear Dixie's voice, Violet's, etc.

Dix, I can't wait to see the pictures. After reading about your cousin Angela, I want to see what she looks like.

Great travelogue, Dixie, but I have to disagree with you onone thing. The first time I heard Violet speak, I couldn't distinguish whether she was saying "Hello " or "Astronaut ".

You have to spit into a tissue or a bag, and then put it into a dustbin to complete the process
OMG! They don't tell them not to spit; they are going to "teach them how to do it".

If they could be able to tell the people not to spit at all, they wouldn't spend much time to tell them how to spit correctly now.

The spitting is bad in pretty much every Asian country I've been to. It's not a just a Chinese specialty. At least the ones I've been to - Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan.
Check out these pics from Southern China. This is where I want to go!

Hey Maja if you are going to visit San Francisco next year, you could jump to the north of México and then we could meet each other.

Elba, why would
Maja want to jump south to the north of Mexico and visit you when she could easily jump north to the south of Canada and visit me?

Stop the madness! No one is jumping anywhere. Actually, they both have to jump to visit Dixie and Dixie will jump to visit me. There we go.... Meet me at my place on the 1700 hours. Roger, officers?

I'm not a majo, I'm a gringo. I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it, if you jump up to Canada and then jump down to Mexico, you will gain super gloating powers! You'd hit the entire continent of North America on one trip! What would your friends say about that? Is that not something to gloat about?

What funny topic.
firstable: Unknownsu you are not a gringo. you are the cousin of the gringos.
second: Lenny, why Dixie should "Meet you at your place"? Be polite, please, maybe you could meet Dixie at the hotel or invited her to dinner or lunch.
third: The invitation of Dixie is the best. I will try to save money in order to go to San Francisco at least one day.
Fourth: The next vacation of Dixie, after San Francisco, will be at México, and she must not to pay hotel, because she will be mu guest at my apartment.

Guys, if you want to argue, do it somewhere else like General Discussion. Dixie will be able to handle you guys.
Seriously though, depending on how you read Elba's post, there's nothing malicious about it.
