Meanwhile you all realized Moslems in every Islamic country have their own religious ideas. In Egypt before Naguib and Nasser took over the country Egyptians celebrated every religious festival of their multireligious citizens. Xmas, New Year, Easter, >Orthodox Xmas, Orthodox Easter. jewish festivals. Lots of Moslems ate /eat? Mortadella, jambon. Everybody was happy , contented, tolerant of other peoples religious customs, ideas, teasing each other. Possily the Chinese thought if the Americans do it, we should do the same . To be in HARMONY with others, fine, but give up their thousand year old customs, excuse me very silly indeed. 2l Million Chinese Moslems against hundreds of thousands Chinese with or without religion, not democratic. Is it? Years of the pig were celebrated for hundreds of yearsand the Moslem Chinese accepted it . Why suddenly now? What's the difference? Madmilker

You must learn this new word--insert word I forgot-- and use this instead". However, once we went in to town, most of the students I was with had already forgotten and were asking 'zhe shi zhu rou ma?" (is this pork?) all over the place. People, most definitely not Han, didn't really seem to care. I even remember hearing 'zhu rou' quite a bit. There's a million possible reasons for all this craziness, and I don't claim to fully understand, but it was pretty interesting/funny.

Well, stuffed toys, pictures, and other such things, no real pigs. But still, there's thousands of them and this infomercial just keeps going, worse than the energizer bunny.
