That's the Chinese for you - there's China and then there's the rest of
Asia. They do have a point, seeing as how most Asian cultures were born
from China. As I recall, the original Hawaiian people probably came from
China too.

Speaking of Oriental food, I just had a bowl of Nong Shim Kimchi
flavored bowl noodle. It's hot stuff and I was sweating like a pig and
my head felt like it might explode - the best $.60 I ever paid for
Oriental food - Korean food, for you non-Chinese.

So guy told me that some folks in San Fransisco wanted to name a sewage
plant after GW Bush. I told him stop telling me such BS. :-)
