Not true. <BR/><BR/>I've never been but I heard Harbin (northern china) is quite beautiful and interesting. They say they have the purest mandarin accent there--not that you would know or appreciate it. <BR/><BR/>If you decide to go to SoK (that's South Korea for those of you not in the know) or TaWa (Taiwan), let me know (errr...through Eileen's blog?!?), I have friends who know the area well.<BR/><BR/>I feel that this is my contribution to the blog because eileen helped me with my interest rates.
