An American, a British and a Chinese went for a hike one day. It was very hot.
They were sweating and exhausted.
When they came upon a small lake, they took off all their clothes and jumped into the water, since it was fairly secluded.
Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a few berries while enjoying their freedom.
As they were crossing an open area, suddenly a group of ladies from town appeared.
Unable to get to their clothes in time, the American and the British quickly used their hands to cover their privates.
But the Chinese covered his face while they ran for cover.
After the ladies had left, the men got their clothes back on.
The American and the British asked the Chinese why he covered his face rather than his private part.
The Chinese replied, I don't know about you, but in my country, it's the face that people recognize.
CULTURAL DIFFERENCE or CHINESE WISDOM ?

Learn your ENGLISH - kevinkira lesson 1
There are possible plans underway to apply to the Oxford and Webster to include a new word for their 2009 dictionary:
badawi [baa-daa-wee] (noun): To start something full of promise but end in disappointment, failure and/or disaster.
Eg:
'I'm trusting you to perform this task well; don't do a badawi, ok?'
'Whatever I do, I will always find a way to badawise it.'
France badawied their Euro 2008 campaign. England pre-badawied theirs, while Italy were guilty of over-badawification.
