I'm Rich!

Monopoly Money?

We will see, but this is what 500 dollars US equals.  Right now, I look rich!  But, I am on the look out for the bills with the Olympic Rings! If I find enough of them, I could make some side money! Seems as if they are a rare, valuable commodity!

Can't wait to get out and spend some Chinese money (Renminbi)!

The Peoples Republic of China

Has anyone been watching the Discovery Channel's Ted Koppel four part special on China, it's growth and growing pains?

Wow, so much sacrifice in all areas of life just to make the country grow.

And have you seen this? I hope I get a chance to see some of this when I get there!



Word on the street was the bills were being snatched up and sold for 7 times the value!

Rosetta Stone

So, in an effort to maybe converse with some Chinese, I picked up Rosetta Stone. This learning a new language, especially Chinese is weird! Rosetta Stone's idea is total immersion, no English, just Chinese. So, what I do know is running, swimming, man, woman, boy, girl, things like that, but I don't know how it all fits together.

Has anyone ever done Rosetta Stone?
