By the way, the little mascots' name is new. Before they were called the FRIENDLIES. But somehow this English name was thought to be associated with 'friend lies --> lies' and then changed to the much 'nicer' name FUWA.
Another name story...

Hi - I have been a long-time visitor to your blog but have not commented before. I think it is great and I love your writing. The section on ex-pat life when your friend went back to Paris was beautiful.
I also laughed my a** off watching you interview Chinese people about their English names!
Take care
Ian
Hi Ian,
thank you for leaving a comment. I can see I have visitors but I do not know if you like my posts. So thanks for encouraging me.
But I have to disappoint you about the Sexy Beijing episodes. I am not the interviewer. It is done by Su Fei from Danwei TV. And I like her too.
See you around on the blog
