Thanks 49er. Thank You over Thinking About You makes more sense from knowing her really well. She always said because of her culture she wasn't able to show real emotions or something because it showed weakness or something. Fascinating lol.

Are you sure it isn't something x-rated?

Maybe she has hidden depths.

haha I don't think so. She has extreme self control and even keel mood except when you bring up China then she gets all passionate and ranting and raving. lol

If you ever get an e-mail written in another language (like i did the other day) you can use this website to decode.  Doesn't help with paper but if it's electronic or you can type the letters you can run it through this ... it will give you the jist of the message   (Most every language is on here)

[DIV dir=ltr]I know that both Mandarin and Cantonese use the sme characters - but one thing that is possible I picked up a book for an uncle of LM's in San Fran when I was in Dunhuang (Western China) and he said he couldn't read the "new Chinese" meaning that there are older and newer versions - perhaps the website uses and older more formal version??  I noticed that there were several chinese buttons.
