Maxx, 'most' of the first list I posted was from the China History forum. It's a site used by academic's and to tell you the truth, a lot of it is way over my head. Like a lot of these 'high brow" sites it has some great left field topic's. Ancient Chinese children's hair cuts, for example. I kid you not! To become a full member you even have to take an exam! and I quote
"About CHF Imperial Exam System
CHF is generally catered for those who are interested in learning chinese history and culture. We pride ourselves in becoming a leading educational and academic site for the learning of chinese history and culture. Functioning just like a university/school, CHF has also established "Imperial Exams" designed to help qualify members to become "official scholar members" (qualified citizens) of CHF.
CHF is probably the 1st and only online community to implement an exam system for its member. Our goal is to make all members become literate or educated in chinese history and culture after joining CHF. Technically speaking, CHF encourages all members to take the Entry Level Exam (Xiucai Exam)"
Ronan, maybe we should do the same! :lol: .You more experienced members could set the questions! Seriously though this site is full of useful stuff and well worth a few hours, here's the link
http://www.chinahistoryforum.org/
Confused? you will be!

Irish , if green mean bad luck , then why are their so crazy about green Tea . Are they all looking for bad luck ? Hehe
Rhonald:
I have noticed that my wife and her father wear green many times. I just asked her about the bad luck but she has not heard about this. Maybe it is area specific. Oops, now she says that old people say if a man wears a green cap then his wife will love another man. I guess I better not pretend to be an american green beret. However I was a member of the P.P.C.L.I. and in the Canadian army infantry wear green berets. But then my first wife did cheat on me. Oh my god where did all these mot...fuc.ing snakes on a plane come from??!!

PPCLI? How long have you been out? You must follow the Afghanistan mission pretty closely then.
