[quote=ROGERINCA,235994]Cali, I hope to get to Beijing within the year. This is a must, that I want to share with my Lao Po, who’s parents were both from Beijing, before dad, an Army officer, was transferred to Guangdong Province, close to Guangzhou, when she was a little girl. This is why she is so fluent in both Mandarin and the Cantonese dialects of the language; which she refers to as Beijing talk and Guangzhou talk. Her parents both spoke Mandarin at home, but she was taught Cantonese in the Guangzhou schools, from Grade 1, through her University time. Our daughter is likewise fluent in both dialects, with Mandarin spoken at home and with all family members, and Cantonese spoken exclusively in her grammar school. Griz, yes, this is a really great ride !! Not only is there a big feast coupled with the beautiful cruise, for a low price; you can get the big (28oz) bottle of genuine Budweiser Beer, with a chilled glass, for only US .50 cents. You will have to ‘ditch’ that nasty cigar though !!! The ‘smoking lamp’ is not lit on this boat !!!!! :) [/quote]
