Did your friends tell you that this top game is called, “Beat the Lazy Wife”? I’m not kidding–that is the literal translation from Chinese to English. I’m sure your mandarin is better than mine, so you can translate it back into Chinese.

Way to go, Andy. Beef tongue, which is the same as cow tongue, was a Jewish delicatessen item that my parents and their friends adored. It was cured, like pastrami and corned beef, and whenever they bought deli for a buffet, they always got tongue. I never like it because of the scratchy exterior. You can stil get it in delis here. Bravo for being adventurous. Love, Mom

John……si….mi gusto

Jerome……All the DVDs I have bought have both Chinese and English audio tracks and subtitles. I have 4 hours a day of 1 on 1 instruction. I speak Chinese whenever I can, but that means I spend 97% of the time in English

You really are having a great tiime experiencing exotic cuisines. Do the DVD’s you get there
give you the option to view in Chinese sub titles? How many hours per day are you spending in instruction? When you are out with your buddies do you converse in English or Chinese?
Happy Thanksgiving Cow Tongue!

Love,

Gramps

Te envidio por la comida brasilera que comiste.. me parece muy buena y por lo que veo a ti te gusto tambien.. Parece que ya te estas envolviendo mucho mas en la cultura de alla por tus escritos ultimos. Muy bueno!! SI en alguna ocasion necesitas una translacion o algo asi que no quieras preguntarle a Aaron o Ivy, yo tengo un companero de trabajo Chino que habla el idioma muy bien… Cuidate!
