Well I talked to my new friend from Xingyu, and he said they are crated, onboard a ship and in the South China Sea. I am excited but it will still be a month till they arrive. He informed me there was a strong earthquake in Tiwan (can't spell) :? it must have been very strong it broke a communications line connecting the mainland internet line. It was difficult understanding eachother on the phone, but interesting. So far it has been a very cool experience, I may never leave North America, but at least I have had some contact with a totaly different culture, and hopefully a new friend. Hope all of you had a good Christmas and wish you all a great new year, with plenty of safe rides!

I will let ya all know of any thing new. Ohh I should say "I will ket Yinz know of anything new LOL"

My little town in Texas is flooded with Taiwanese. I worked for 'em for 23 years, Formosa Plastics, a big plant here. Little podunk town of 12K and we have 2 Chinese restaurants, Chinese sections in the grocery store, even celebrate Chinese new years.

And people think Texas is all rednecks?

wow thats kinda surprising, in my area, bout 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, in dairy farm area, we have a handful of oriental population. Now when steel was king here we had every ethinic group, it is funny how that works, all western european and eastern european. But that was 2 generations ago. We have a small population of migrant farm hands, but thats about it. They were a great bunch of folks, they were hard workers and good friends, when I was a kid nobody accepted them at first, but heck I used to play ball and do the goin over to eachothers house thing, wasn't much different than my Italian family, cept the food was spicyer. I love Peurtorican food mmmmmmmm. I should talk one of my buddies into opening a resturant. Now that I think, we have about 20 oriental resturants, and 5 massage parlors, only thing is where do they live and why are there none of their kids in my daughters school ????
