When we were in China 17 years ago, I got to see first-hand how overseas Chinese (my wife) are treated. A male ticket-seller in the Shanghai train station started yelling at her and she almost started crying (very unusual for her, although so was the situation). <br /><br />If you are ever in Seattle, let us know! We&#39;d love to ching you (and JP) for dinner. Chinese food, of course! We&#39;ll have good stories to share by then (we&#39;re going to Shanghai/Chengdu/Xian/Beijing on Saturday for 3 weeks with our 3 teenage sons) - if we make it back alive!<br /><br />Don Borin/Theresa Cheng Borindonborinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10133277038453175104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2749597628526066244.post-90703190320832774682009-05-29T06:23:32.847-04:002009-05-29T06:23:32.847-04:00Hi, Amber, there were some rumours that you started another podcast on Chinese.<br />Could you please share a link if that's true?Infusiastichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06214411235944074339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2749597628526066244.post-86117578063105587002009-03-28T14:47:00.000-04:002009-03-28T14:47:00.000-04:00Dear Amber, where art thou?stevekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07968908812277788064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2749597628526066244.post-80282236832842258212009-01-20T13:58:00.000-05:002009-01-20T13:58:00.000-05:00Did Clay show up here, too?

I was so sorry to learn you've left Chinese pod but I think it's great you've followed your heart to do what you want to do. I'm glad you haven't abandoned us and have started this blog. I hope it's a jumping off point for great and interesting things for you. If you ever visit Toronto, let us know. I'm sure you have lots of fans/friends and we would love to have a meet-up.

All the best in NYC and I look forward to reading your blogs. In the meantime, time for some DA reruns, maybe the one about keeping warm in the Chinese winter.

Flushing seems way more 'mainland'. The fake bags are realllly overpriced here, jeesh.

When I moved back to the West from Shanghai to Toronto I was way more comfortable in Chinatown than anywhere else... In fact sometimes I think I still am. As they say, "you can take the boy out of China but you can never take the China out of the boy." And you know what, it's a good thing. <BR/><BR/>Will miss your podcasts.

[how cool if you could put some of your Chinese in there in like a Jackie Chan movie or something that mixes East and West],talk show host? [you could be bigger than Oprah].Anyhow,best of luck.Keep reaching for the stars.:)bababardwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09997716152084183868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2749597628526066244.post-65416313811978038572009-01-12T16:32:00.000-05:002009-01-12T16:32:00.000-05:00I was thinking more of an 'Outsider's Guide to New York!'dear amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05683717999056804210noreply@blogger.com
