I was browsing the web last night on what else but something baby-related when I came across this very interesting video clip on You Tube titled Sexy Beijing. It is a short clip that mimics Sex in the City; where "Su Fei", a foreigner goes all around Beijing interviewing random strangers about random issues relevant to today's Beijing people. I'm guessing this was all done to hype up the Beijing Olympics and to bring humor and understanding of the Chinese culture for the western world to see. I was very intrigued with trying to listen and understand what "Su Fei" was saying in Mandarin and checking with the subtitles to see if I understood correctly. Her Mandarin was spoken slower than most natives so it made it easier for me to try to understand. I think there is probably a whole series of "Sexy Beijing" that can be found on You Tube. It's a great way to practice your Mandarin! Enjoy!

Where did August go? We are already at the end of summer. I am less than two months away from baby's arrival. Yikes!
