IF you do get this information, can you please forward it to me too? If
I ever finish "A Lesson in Love" (that's not a promise people ^_^;;) I
will need it.

Okay, well, there ~IS~ another 5 pages of the Nabiki story... since that
one seems to be getting a lot of interest I might at least finish it...

2.  How do the Chinese view Japanese foreigners specifically?
3.  How do the Chinese view American foreigners specifically?
4.  How would the Chinese view someone who was half-Chinese, half-American,
but had been born in China?  (Note, this person is female, looks mostly
Chinese, but has blond hair.)

(Questions that don't regard foreigners in China.)

5.  What are the living conditions in Shanghai like?  e.g., are there a lot
of slums?  Is it mostly rich?  What do they eat there?  And so on...

14.  How much effect has communism had on the eastern provinces?  Are
people free to enter and leave the cities as they please?  Is a 'travel
permit' required?  And so on.
15.  Do most people in China dislike the communists?  If so, are they
vocal, or more tacit about it?  Also, are there any 'secret society' type
organizations that fight the communists?

Sorry there's a lot of questions, but I really do need to know all this... :P

    The slender girl, Ryako, only gave him a cute, yet somewhat wolfish,
grin.  "Aw, you're no fun, Ryoga," she said, hitting him on the shoulder
playfully.  "Here we are, so close, and you won't let me read what you're
writing?"  She snuggled up against him, smirking to herself.
    Ryoga apparently didn't notice that she was only kidding, because his
face glowed a bright red and he nervously inched away from her.  "C-close?"
 He stammered.  "I...well...you see..."
