I don't think laowai are much better at picking Chinese names. I have have seen more than one dumb foreigner to pick "Doufu" as their moniker (most likely because those are among the few Chinese words they know). I chose for my name 王义力. It's easy to write and the two characters mean "justice" and "force, ability" but my girlfriend says that when you stick them together it just sounds like the name of a brand of sausage. So I guess I'm just 王义 now.

Imagine...really banging techno mixed with swing music with some ridiculously amazing live band playing mad drums and sax/trumpet/trombone.

the associated dance style would be Gabba LindyHop so the music genre is Glindy.

That speed and that style will keep you fit and happy for years!

Lol, you got to hand it to the marketing people at Dunkin Donuts. They probably told James he was the like an American Idol here. Chinese moms are NOT going to buy donuts for their kids. Did anyone here ever try one of those "Chinese cupcakes" or sweet buns? YUCK! Put all together the red bean paste and pork topping won't win customers for 8 plus kuai a donut. Toulesjours has it covered here because at least you can buy a coffee and a strange pastry and sit for hours in the store doing...? as if Mr. James ever eats donuts anyways. That man was brought up on collard greens, jojo, hammocks, and fried chicken. The Chinese love all these things.
