Good question August, we sold them all our gold, so I guess and anything goes, Hell even I've probably been sold to the Chinese - i just don't know it yet, but so long as my new owner looks like something like this It might not be so bad. :woot:

Basic human rights, fair work conditions, environment laws or a decent brew :03:
(actually their most yummy beer, Tsingtao, was originally a German company)

So is the thinking that if they build copies of overseas tourist attractions then foreign tourists will come to China instead of visiting the real one's, or it so the proletariat masses will visit the copies instead of wanting to leave the motherland?
Either way ,it definitely comes under the heading of wtf.....

I'm sure I understand but tea and coffee are certainly miles apart in flavour etc.

I started drinking Tea and Coffee at the age of 7 with about 5 sugars and lots of milk, I got sick of Tea when I was about 16, Since then I only drink coffee.

And I'm just the opposite. I love the smell of coffee but have never liked the taste. Hot tea, iced tea, room temperature tea...pretty much all I drink except for the occasional soda. My oldest recorded ancestor came from Wales. I guess I'm more British than you are. :sunny:
