Ying-Lan: I don

Vance: Yeah, YL, you sound very nice on Pure Voice.

Maggi: for the pure voice maybe too soft for some people

Ying-Lan: ^I don't know how to express myself in English.

Ying-Lan: soft?

Maggi: yes soft...

Ying-Lan: How about you?

Vance: The sound of your PV file was low, but I just turned the volume up on my computer ...

Maggi: use more air from the bottom of your lungs.

Ying-Lan: We are looking forward your voice mail

Maggi: Something is wrong...I have to try it with another mike because it is too low even when on the highest volume.

Maggi: new version too.

Maggi: was the last one Michael and Vance sent too fast for you.

Maggi: mine was really fast and they sounded like chipmunks.

Ying-Lan: ^You need to update your pure voice program, right?

Maggi: it was really funny...:-)

Maggi: I did update it,.

Ying-Lan: It is funny to funny voice from Vance and michaelc...

Ying-Lan: listen

Maggi: yes...they are funny guys:-)

Ying-Lan: Mine is wounderful to listen their vocie.

Vance: whatdoyoumeanwesoundedlikechipmunks?

Maggi: then something is wrong with my version

Maggi: you did...it was a riot!

Vance: What version of PV do you have?

Maggi: the one you told me to download

Ying-Lan: I could not use the realplayer producer G2, even thought Delnison end Elienn told me how to use it...

Vance: What about the one I sent you last week?

Maggi: shame Ying

Maggi: that is the one

Ying-Lan: ^What's a shame on me!

Maggi: I installed it kVance

Vance: Did you try to download it again YL? Mine works.

Maggi: no, I mean that it is a shame that it doesn't work Ying.

Ying-Lan: NO... it will take a lot of time to download it.

Vance: Maggi, you installed the PV that I sent you? (Where did Deden go?)

Ying-Lan: ^I worked this weekend...

Maggi: Yes I did (he had to go out and will be back he said.)

Ying-Lan: ^I only like to download program on Internet on Saturday or Sunday morning... it will be fast and quickly

Vance: Where did you and Deden find wrong info on my website. It

Maggi: it goes quickly...it is fast and quick

*** Invalid server command

Ying-Lan: ^I downloaded the globalenglish this morning, which has been told me.

Vance: it is ok on my copy of the file

Maggi: I didn't find it..he did...or maybe he misread it.

Ying-Lan: NO, Vance,, I did not read your introduce about the palace.

Vance: Deden had trouble with my directions. Maybe it's somewhere else.

Ying-Lan: you know the bolo is a young child...

Maggi: at 18 is is no longer a child.

Maggi: he is...

Maggi: bolo means friend in Indonesian.

Ying-Lan: he is only 18... I am 36... I am old than he.. 18 X 3= 36

Vance: Times 2. Times 3 is my age and Maggi's.

Maggi: when you were 18 did you like it if someone said you were a young child?

Vance: It's a matter of perspective.

Ying-Lan: I forgot it... but I probably do not say he is a child when I talk to him.

Maggi: each age is wonderful.

Vance: If you are twice that age, then 18 is young.

Maggi: young yes, but not a child.

Maggi: Maybe I still think too young...

Ying-Lan: I read your email , maggii. I agree your idea about the kosov...

Vance: I think others in the class are that age.

Ying-Lan: I don't know how to argue thie problem with Moral.

Maggi: Thank you Ying...we all hope now in Europe that it will be over soon.

Maggi: for both sides...

Ying-Lan: He is Chinese, me too. but we grown up at different area and diffent social system.

Maggi: It is not easy to argue with someone who is only presented half the story.

Maggi: Remember that he is behind a firewall for a reason.

Ying-Lan: Sometimes, it is getting hard to communicate with some problme.

Maggi: We maybe need to be careful that he doesn't get cut off.

Vance: Moral is trying to expand his horizons. He's circumventing the firewall.

Maggi: people need to be able to talk to each other.

Maggi: and I hope he can continue to do that....

Maggi: ...he is then a window into China.

Ying-Lan: I just want to tell him to not to think depend on those materidal given by his goverment.

Vance: He is a traveler who is outside the mental borders of his peers.

Maggi: imagine though if that is all you get Ying...it is very hard to know who is right.

Maggi: It is amazing on the net the silly things people believe and forward too.

Vance: Really

Vance: I can't find where the information about getting onto the Palace is incorrect.

Maggi: I think the webhead list is very interesting just for that reason.

Ying-Lan: conscious of one's national identity.

Maggi: Moral was right though about the apology from the Americans.

Maggi: learning other cultures...it is very important.

Maggi: not just the language but how people think and feel...their traditional beliefs.

Ying-Lan: I see... I hope everyboy will benefit from the e-group.

Maggi: To learn to respect the different beliefs and live together in peace beside them.

Vance: Respect is the key word.

Vance: You can disagree and discuss, but you must respect. Netiquette!

Maggi: respect yes...for each other

Ying-Lan: I was angry at someone who decided to start the war.

Ying-Lan: respect...

Ying-Lan: Respect is a good attitude to listen those different opinions...

Maggi: I don't think that was a decision made by one person.

Ying-Lan: I knew it...

Vance: I was angry this morning. There was a group of Albanians who got across the border after pretty severe beatings.

Maggi: And it wasn't an easy one to make I am sure.

Maggi: I wish it would stop

Ying-Lan: The problem of the world is getting to be complicated.

Maggi: The Serbs are retreating in anger...

Ying-Lan: What's happened?

Ying-Lan: Vance...

Vance: yes

Maggi: It is getting very complicated Ying...

Ying-Lan: Like this war... How to stop it!

Maggi: Kevin is going in with the peacekeeping troops

Vance: I don't think the Serbs should be in Kosovo in the first place. They have never lived there, and they obviously don't know how to govern the people who do.

Ying-Lan: I just wonder why?

Maggi: but it goes back to the 13th century...

Maggi: ...they have a hard time letting go.

Vance: They couldn't defend it then.

Ying-Lan: ^When I read such an news in Newspaper, I just think I am so lucky to live in Taiwan...

Maggi: that is why it is a question of pride today.

Ying-Lan: a

Maggi: now that have to leave again.

Vance: Beating up old men and raping women? They must be quite proud of themselves.

Maggi: disgusting yes

brian-r: @64,64 !It's brian-r

Maggi: Hi Äbrian

Maggi: Brian#

Ying-Lan: hi Brain

Vance: Hi Brian.

Maggi: desperate people do desperate things.

brian-r: Hi pussy cat

Maggi: that's Vance!

Vance: Brian, don't talk to Maggi like that.

Ying-Lan: Are you still be a observer?

Maggi: :-)

Vance: :-]

Maggi: Poor guy Vance...

brian-r: I beg your pardon marm

Ying-Lan: ^Brian, Are you still be a observer? Don't want to join us?

Maggi: eee...marm is worse...

Maggi: ...I'd rather be a pussy cat...

brian-r: Sure, but I can't usually stay very long

Ying-Lan: It is okay...

Ying-Lan: never mind.

Maggi: start talking...

Vance: Maggi, ask questions.

Maggi: Why...you're the teacher

Vance: How about, how long have Brian and I known each other?

Ying-Lan: REspect

Maggi: Ok

Vance: Take it, Brian ...

Maggi: so, how long<?

Ying-Lan: ^Vance, I suggest you to write a letter talking about "RESPECT" in our e-group.

Vance: YL, I think I did. Didn't you see it?

Maggi: I think the egroup already respects each other.

brian-r: Since before the Iranian rev

Maggi: Were you together then?

Maggi: hmmm...you guys go back to the 70's...

Ying-Lan: ^The first step of Democracy is repect different opinions.

Ying-Lan: I saw it

Vance: I worked in Saudi Arabia from 1976 to 1981. We met in 1976. That was before the Iran Iraq war ...

Maggi: where did you meet...?

Ying-Lan: You mean you and Brian,

Ying-Lan: It is long time ago...

Vance: Yes, BUT, we didn't see each other again for ... how long ... 20 years?

Maggi: I was living in England in '76

brian-r: Seems like yesterday

Vance: Oop, 15 years.

Maggi: Vance is not so good in math...:-)

Maggi: Time is nothing for good friends.

Vance: Let me work it out on my computer here ...

Ying-Lan: ^When did you meet agian?

Vance: Just a couple of weeks ago.

Vance: Watch out, Brian, you'll disappear through that door.

Maggi: Last summer I met some friends I hadn't seen in almost 25...we were all a little older, but nothing had changed.

brian-r: @64,64 !It's brian-r

Ying-Lan: You could know each other by sight?

Maggi: :-) I warned Deden about the doors too.

Vance: He looks pretty much the same. A little older of course, but otherwise the same.

Vance: Me, I look exactly the same.

Maggi: Me too...:-)

Ying-Lan: ^I mean you could know who is who after such a long time...

Maggi: Sure.

Ying-Lan: sure?

brian-r: How do students like being taught by seniorish citizens?

Maggi: Although I was a little shocked at an old HS friend...time hadn't been as kind to her...

Vance: Life had left its sad scar ...

Maggi: great compliment...:-) They love it!!!!!

Maggi: No, she was totally grey...

Ying-Lan: ^I don't undersant "seniorish citizens"?

Vance: I don't think age makes all that much difference. I've had students who were older than I was.

Maggi: he is being polite, but saying Vance and I are a couple of old farts.

Vance: A senior citizen is a polite way to say an old person.

Ying-Lan: ^I am old, too.

Vance: And "old fart" is an impolite way (leave it to Maggi).

Maggi: how else will they learn this stuff :-)

Maggi: 36 is not old Ying...80 is

Vance: YL, among us 4, you are the youngest.

Ying-Lan: The young generation may be don't like to listent our experences about the life.

Maggi: Well Brian must be about the same age...teach too Brian?

Ying-Lan: The young generation may be don't like to listen to our experences about the life.

Felix: @64,64 !It's Felix

Felix: Bon Jour

Maggi: most of them do Ying...

Maggi: Hi Felix

Ying-Lan: ^But they like to talk about the fresh thing...

Vance: hey felix!

Maggi: Brian...meet our resident male macho...:-)

Maggi: One of the sweetest ones though...

Felix: heheheheheh

Ying-Lan: ^We should be calm down to pretend we don't surprise their thought... Just need more" Respect"

Vance: Felix is up EARLY this morning. Sunday morning in Brazil.

Maggi: fresh thing Ying?

Ying-Lan: Fresh thing... we don't know that before...

Ying-Lan: Hi, Felix.

Felix: Watch out Vance... Today you will have thunder and lightning

Felix: Hi ying

Maggi: We had that yesterday

Ying-Lan: Flelix... you have read the report of weather.

Vance: I find that I make friends with a lot of young people who respect my experiences.

Ying-Lan: me too. I am a young friend...

Felix: no Ying.

Vance: Thunder and lightning in the UAE? Today? I don't THINK so ..

Felix: It's because I am here early... I MIRACLE.

Felix: A MIRACLE.. heheh

Maggi: Miracles happen every day...

Ying-Lan: ^Don't you feel the young generation with the fresh thought that you don't understand?

Maggi: Brazilian humor...humour for Brian.

Vance: I have two sons who keep my thoughts fresh.

Felix: Yesterday the truck of my company turned over (is that correct?)

Maggi: I had fresh thoughts too...they keep us young.

Vance: A truck (one of many) ...

Ying-Lan: That's great! There is no Generation gap in your family.

Maggi: yes Felix...were you in it?

Vance: A truck belonging to my company ...

Felix: now.. The truck.. (we only have one)

Felix: nononono

Vance: Ah, ok

Felix: I don't go into it..

Vance: The company truck ...

Maggi: I have students from 16 up...the oldest was 82.

Felix: But anyway.. a 14 year old boy died

Maggi: I never had a problem Ying.

Vance: Felix, was it someone you know?

Ying-Lan: ^In Taiwan, most of the young generation think their parents don't understand them.

Felix: no.. He was the son of an employee who works on one of the farms of my company

Maggi: Oh those poor people

Ying-Lan: Really, It is very sad to hear such a news.

Felix: Yes, Maggi

Felix: I was at the hospital until late last night.

Felix: I see if the others needed help.

Ying-Lan: ^ Felix...I am sorry to hear it.

Felix: to see

Felix: Thanks Ying.

Vance: This has been a terrible year for you, Felix.

Felix: Yes, Vance.

Ying-Lan: ^It is an accident, isn

Ying-Lan: ^It is an accident, isn't it?

Felix: right Ying.

Ying-Lan: ^Is it covered by Insurance company?

Felix: The truck was transporting cocoa from a far to another. So, it was over a wodden bridge that didnt support the weight and fall down.

Maggi: no insurance could ever pay for the loss of a child.

Felix: EXACTLY MAGGI

Ying-Lan: That's too bad, maggi./

Felix: EXACTLy

Felix: there were 6 boys on the truck..... only one was buried with the sacs of cocoa in the river... And he drowned.. Very sad

Ying-Lan: ^I knew the cancer insurance covered by the whole family,, if you chose that.

Felix: Sorry for being impolite... Hi Brian.

Vance: This part of Brazil seems to be a dangerous place. Depressing at times. A lot of wild stuff happens there.

Ying-Lan: what are you goint to do?

Ying-Lan: ^Back to the hospital?

Felix: No Vance.. It's very calm.... I really dont know what these things are happening.. Maybe it's the apocalipse

Felix: I didnt follow you Ying.

Maggi: insurance is a question of beating the odds...

Ying-Lan: But Felix,,, how many people ?

Maggi: they won't insure anything unless the odds are on their side and they will make money.

Felix: there were 9 in total... Only 1 died..... The others are ok.. Just a few scratches.

Ying-Lan: I agree... sometimes, I think the social insurance it right.. sometimes, it takes a lot of money and social insurance makes our goverment poor.

Maggi: social security is something differehnt

Felix: Later I go to the hospital again to check if Jose needs something.

Ying-Lan: ^So. Felix, you could not calim it from the Insurance Comapny.

Felix: I dont think so Ying.... The car insurance can cover the expenses I think

Ying-Lan: That is a good news only.

Felix: yeah

Vance: The only good news

Ying-Lan: The only good news.

Felix: I don't care... The company is rich....

Ying-Lan: Felix, your company is rich...

Felix: A truck won't take then to bankrupcty

Felix: them

Ying-Lan: But the child was dead...

Vance: Will they compensate the family?

Ying-Lan: ^You can not count the value of the life... a child's life.

Felix: you are deadly right Ying

Ying-Lan: The family lost a child whom they love.

Felix: I am sure they will Vance. But you know big companies... Generally people need to sue them to get the money.. I dont think it will be different in this case.. Mainly because the people involved are

Ying-Lan: It is very sad.. you can not recover it from those money.

Felix: very poor and dont have much info

Vance: Well, if a company is sending workers over unsafe bridges and making a lot of money on their risk then the company should take more responsibility ...

Felix: only God can over the loss

Ying-Lan: ^An accident? Do you think it could be prevent from some safe pre-investigae?

Maggi: I guess Deden and Roy are not coming back.

Felix: nonono

Vance: guess not

Felix: BTW, who is Brian?

Ying-Lan: guess not?

Vance: brian?

Felix: yep

Ying-Lan: ^Like the carsh of the airplane?

Ying-Lan: ^Brian, Are you here?

Vance: Brian is another teacher with the EFI.

Maggi: who rang the bell?

Felix: no.. It was a bridge, constructed generally in not good conditions...

Vance: He has hundreds of students.

Felix: by the owner of the farm, not the government.

Ying-Lan: ^Brian, Vane's friend. and He is a teach at EFI.

Felix: So they don't need to investigate anything

Maggi: You mean you went for Dave's plan Brian?

Felix: Really? So Brian is a teacher too.. Cool..

Felix: Brian. Can I take your classes too ???

Ying-Lan: He is a Englishman and lives in UAE.

Vance: Only he sleeps during classes (I guess ... Brian??)

Maggi: You drive enough teachers crazy Felix!

Felix: ??

Vance: Maybe Felix put him to sleep. He was ok when it was just the 3 of us.

Felix: sobbing

Maggi: I'm just joking Felix.

Felix: the baby zebra has gone

Maggi: I told him that...I keep getting the door bell and I realized it was Brian and no one else was seeing his message but me.

Vance: Try the mobile cam (Sabi Sabi) - a bunch of baboons around a waterhole.

Maggi: true...but I've been here awhile

Ying-Lan: ^It is nice to talking to you this nigh.

Felix: Do you think you get cachaca by mail Vance?

Maggi: start an exporting business

Felix: Who knows?

Ying-Lan: ^What is the chcachaca ?

Felix: cachaça is destilated alchool... Very strong.... Stronger than tequila.
