RE: If folks from the US speak english...why don't they understand what we are saying??

In Wisconsin we say soda not pop. When I was in Indiana it was pop not soda.

Then when you ask where is a bubbler (drinking fountain) people didn't understand. That is a word from Milwaukee. Maybe it's also used other places, don't know.

Most people in Wisconsin do not have any accent. So when you hear an accent of any kind you know they are not originally from Wisconsin.

RE: How many people plan to go to China?

Currently people arriving from US to China are being detained in holding centers to verifiy they are not infected with swine flu.

Reports have stated these centers are not very pleasant. I don't know about people arriving from other countries thier situation.

I visited ShangHai in 1995/1996 and it was very nice. A lot of people on the streets, stores etc. during the day. Then at night only people out were going to clubs.

Beautiful gardens, museums, and lots of places to eat. I needed the skill of using chop sticks to eat as most of the resteraunts did not have tableware back then. Learn to use chop sticks to eat with before going is a big help. Don't drink the water unless it is boiled for tea. Never use ice in any beverage. Never eat fresh vegetables or fruits. I was healthy and fine during my stay.

Nice things to buy made of silk and jade. If it says Art Silk it means artificial (synthetic) silk.

Speking Mandarin is a tone language. To learn you need to actually hear the words spoken. Trying to learn from a book will not work.

US Visa to emigrate to the US can take a citizen of China 10 years or so to obtain. Fastest way is getting a fiance /fiancee then it may take one year.

RE: which do you believe?

If evolution were true then why did mankind stop evolving?

Evolvement would be perfecting and adapting to the environment.

Would not the human body evolved to a more adaptable form for life on this planet?

Think about it.

RE: religious conversion ?

If your religion allows dating then no need.

Some religions do not allow dating.

A conversion would have to be made with your whole heart, mind and soul. Otherwise it would be false and you would only fool yourself.Are you willing to make a true conversion?

This is a question you can only answer.

RE: How many kids/grandkids do you have?

I have four children.

Still at home an almost 16 year old son and twin sons who will turn 11 years old a few days before I turn 51 in September.
