And though I'm certain some Chinese people wish to just "show their friendly", the large majority are doing nothing of the sort. It's a common misconception that because foreigners often don't understand the language that we don't understand someone's meaning on whether it is malicious or not. This is simply not true. BTW: how does staring endlessly at a person equate to 'friendly'? Hey Gao Xiaotian, I think until you are a foreigner in China, you cannot possibly understand this post.

They would be paid exorbitant salaries for this degrading work (much like foreign language teachers are now). @Prince Roy: Yeah, my thesaurus was offline. It's changed ;-) @Dezza: Not QUITE the same thing. :-)

'Cage' is such a harsh word that is rarely used by zoos these days. shouldn’t you change the Canadian ‘cage’ to ‘exhibit’ or ‘habitat’? ‘Cage’ is such a harsh word that is rarely used by zoos these days.

I heard about that happening in a mall in Shanghai, too. But it's still a fabulous idea that hasn't been marketed nearly enough. What about sponsors? The zoo totally needs sponsors! I bet all the usual suspects (large corporations) could be availed upon to buy advertising space (just think: t-shirts, shoes, food, banners, tattoos...). Yeah.
