Any of these pictures could have been taken in Houston during the floods and you could not tell the difference.

Can I have the phone number of the one on the left?

Or Calgary. :eek:

Water tornado in Kunshan
 

A rarely-seen water tornado rises as high as 1,000 meters over the Yangcheng Lake, Kunshan city in Jiangsu Province July 15, 2004. The water column lasted about 20 minutes Thursday afternoon. Experts said strong convective air causes an ascending movement, hurling lake water up into the sky.

Rainstorms hit Xi'an
 

A man tries to cycle through a waterlogged street in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, July 15, 2004. The city was flooded after five hours of torrential rains Thursday morning. Flood water in some areas is as deep as two metres, report said.

Many rainstorm in China this year.

Hi Billy, meet No_TimE. He's got some girls for you to meet and one of them is rich. ;)

How is someone 'rich' in a communist country? I thought everyone was the same.

Anyway, I want to ask the Chinese guys: If Taiwan declares independence, do you think there will be war? This matter is of great interest to me.

Be part of the government.

Or the underground economy.

1. All the countries have the rich and the poor,if everone is the same,then how the country go on developing.

2. Taiwan IS A PATR OF CHINA!! Anyone attempt to disrupt China MUST will be blessed!! And Chinese goverment NEVER GIVE UP solving the problem by FORCE!! If Taiwan declares independence i think Chinese military circles won't turn a blind eye to it!! A just war may not be avoided.

3. Be part of the government may make someone rich,but most people become rich by hard-working. Underground economy ~I don't know much about it.

4. I am typing while looking up the words in the dictionary.
So thanks to HTTP://WWW.ICIBA.NET (a online dictionary)
And thank you for your patient to my reply~

I'm sorry i hope i don't make the environment depressing.
Can we don't talk about this?
Let's talk about something esay.

No TimE, no worries. You are completely elegant. And adorable. If I could even BEGIN to do what you are doing...I'd have a job instead of playing Cellargames. Oh, the shame...

At the risk of annoying No_time..

China has limited private property now, it has a largely free economy, it is frankly, communist in name alone, you become rich the saw way you do everywhere else, starting businesses, being good at cutting deals, investing in the right places and knowing the right people. There are certain cultural differences in how business is coducted by it's otherwise exactly the same, Berlin to Bejing to Boston.

haha~tanks.(my god,"tanks"?where's the "H"?)
is this lovely... ^_^

Well jaguar:
What i said is just my own word as a middle school student,some of my words may not very felicitous and I welcome all the well-meaning criticism.
