Willy The Londoner:

First two days 300,000  visitors to Expo and not a Willy in sight.

Neil:
I've been wondering that myself.  I was a kid when expo 86 was in Vancouver.  We went and I seem to remember having a good time.  I'm kinda wondering if visiting the expo in July would be worth doing.  I read that the Canadian pavilion has virtual bike rides through Canadian scenery.  That might be a great way to introduce her to some of Canada.  I'm thinking Shanghai might be very expensive and busy through the summer though.

Kung Fu chain? Jackie Chan?  I thought that was Bruce Lee? But very informative.

Heh, maybe it is Bruce Lee, I like Jackie Chan as he's from Hong Kong which is Cantonese so it says that to me, its not really important though in the grand scale of things!!

Thanks for the nice comments, sorting and choosing which photos to use and which to leave out took ages!

He is Bruce Lee. He is regarded as the King of Kong Fu. Zheng means steamed and sounds like the pronunciation of real (zhen). Kong Fu sometimes means martial arts, and sometimes it means skills. So Zheng Kong Fu means real steams skills in food. Almost all food in Zheng Kong Fu restaurant is steamed food. You know Chinese like to use homophone for some special things. You will never understand it without the explanation of a local people. :icon_cheesygrin:

When knowledge is recieved from one so lovely, it becomes a double pleasure. Thanks Zhuzhu - and that Irishman is one lucky fellow. :sleepy:

Ya the suit he is wearing gives it away as being Bruce Lee. That is the gym strip he wears in Enter The Dragon. Quentin Tarantino pays tribute to that movie in his Kill Bill movie when he has Uma Thurman wear the same tracksuit.
