Dear Xiao Ni,
Hopefully now you will believe me when I said that I master English by conversing with native English speakers in a board like this, rather than wasting my time in a boring English class with a local teacher at the language center,
I will stop by your place tonight to teach you all about avatars and other things. Now that you are already a member, we can have a tour of the Rubber Room together, , just make sure that you've put the kids to bed first,

Or better yet helping us learn some of your language. |

Dear CD,
Why don't I share with you some names in the Chinese version of Gatchaman
Gatchaman = Xiao Fei Xia (Xiao="small, Fei="flying", xia= "heroic", so the title could literally means "Heroic Flying Small Birds", I guess)
Ken = Tie Xiong (literally means "Iron Male")
Joe = Da Ming ( literally means "The next great thing", perhaps referring to Joe's position as G2)
Jun = Zhen Zhen (literally means "Treasure", and what a valuable treasure she is indeed, )
Jinpei = A Ding (" Ding" here means "4th", possibly referring to his position as G4)
Ryu = A Long ("Long" means "Dragon". The dragon is always considered as a sacred mythical creature for us Chinese, and I guess "dragon" is more manly than "Owl", )

Dear LB,
Saturn is here with me now. These are the chinese names for Dr. Kozaburo Nambu and Berg Katse
Kozaburo Nambu= Nan Bu Kao San Lang (Nan= "South", Bu= "Part", Kao="Test", San="Three", Lang="Youth", so if we combine all meanings, Dr.Nambu's name will mean "The southern part of the test for three youths", HUH????? ), but I guess the Chinese translator just want to make sure that the pronunciation of Dr. Nambu's name to sound the same in both Japanese and Chinese languages, just like Jun's name, "Zhen" and "Jun" sound the same,
Berg Katse = Da Tou Mu (literally means "The Great Leader")
