I was laughing watching this. As I stare at my two largely expensive ’student’ paintings on my wall from Beijing.

I was greased with tea BEFORE the art showing though.

I kid you not, exactly as you guys described about back in March 2006.

I’m a bit surprised that Kevin and Glenn were easily scammed. Especially when I saw those pictures of the “art students.” Tim’s explanations was dead on. Since Guangzhou is the first place I traveled in my life. (I was 3.) guess that’s why I didn’t understand why others can be so gullible. I learned these scans in such an early age. I still haven’t been to Beijing yet, but I hope to get a chance to pay a visit if possible in the future. Definitely going to try out that virtualtour site.

Tim, your Mandarin sounds great to me, a native Cantonese speaker. =)

Are you guys going to do an episode on about Tea? I’d be quite interested to hear what you have to say. I had my first pu-erh tea recently and it was great.
