04/24/08 Grif.Net – First Lesson in Chinese

Ten years ago I spent two weeks in China, then Hong Kong (my wife was
attending seminars and getting an award for her alternative health
ministry). What a country! I found many people there who could speak
English and was more than a little embarrassed by my American education that
left me short again.

A student of mine found these CHINESE TRANSLITERATIONS of familiar English
statements. Remember, the Grif.Net makes no claim at political correctness
EVER, but we want this to be humorous and mean no disrespect to anyone.
These probably would not have helped me find my way around the Great Wall,
Ming Tombs or the Forbidden City . . .
