The main difference between Chinese
& western eating habits is: unlike the
West,where everyone has their own
plate of food,in China the dishes are
placed on the table and everybody
shares.
If you are being treated by a Chinese
host, be prepared for a ton of food.
The Chinese are very proud of their
culture of cuisine, and will do their
best to show their hospitality.

CCTV9 ran a feature this morning claiming that belly dancing is very popular in China. The classes looked a lot like an aerobics class in session. According to china.org.cn, belly dancing has a devoted new group of followers you might not expect - young urban Chinese. Apparently, belly dance schools have been opening all over Beijing.

How do you bring the Internet to countries like Mali, where more than 70 percent of the population is illiterate and the telecommunications infrastructure barely exists?
You use the radio.
Geekcorps (a U.S. non-profit) sounds like a very cool project.
If a villager wants to get a note to a friend in another part of the country, he or she comes to the radio station and dictates an e-mail to the DJ, who then sends the message off to another station closer to the recipient's location. The DJ who receives the e-mail then issues a broadcast: Muhammad Kanoute, come to the station and I will read your e-mail message to you.

Hi, I would like to remove my information from your database that I am no longer to use this site this time with my requested. Thank you. Sorry for an inconvience.
One thing I always used to wonder was why I saw Xi'an spelled with the apostrophe when other cities in China were not.
Xi'an, written in Chinese, has 2 characters. The first (西), meaning West, is pronounced "xi" and the second (安) meaning "peace" is pronounced "an."
However, by itself, that doesn't necessitate an apostrophe. After all other cities (北京: Beijing, 上海: Shanghai) have two characters but no apostrophe.
The issue is that in Chinese, there's another group of characters (现, 先, 线, 显, ...) which are pronounced and romanized as "xian" (a single syllable). The Chinese romanization system already has enough trouble with the same romanized spelling meaning many different characters and tones, that when there's a potential ambiguity like this one, apostrophes are used to make it clear where the splits between characters are.
