Yes. I've been messing with my sleep cycle/rhythm the last 4 weeks (vacation). For the last 2 weeks I've been approximately in New York time. :-D The plan is to be so tired at 8 pm tonight, that I'll sleep for a good 12 hours, and be refreshed tomorrow.

Though you've actually been in Sweden, right? Is that some new way of travelling around the world? :rolleyes:

Isn't Chai a typical chinese tea? If I'm not mistaken, chai is the chinese word for tea. :~

Not sure of the spelling, but as for pronunciation it is tea in Italian.

You meant Hindi, which is a language. A Hindu is one who follows Hinduism. :)

I need to stay awake for at least 4 more hours. Otherwise I'll really screw up my sleep cycle.

I'm answering the phone and taking care of other duties today. I tried programming earlier, but I couldn't do it.

Cool. I suppose the Chinese may have borrowed it from Indians. I'm willing to bet money on that the japanese word Chya is derived from Chai too. :)
Chinese began to plant tea as early as more 3000 years ago. It's unlikely to be borrowed from Indians. But for Japanese, you won't lose your money - because Japanese learned from Chinese and created their own characters based on the then-Chinese language in Tang Dynasty(618 A.D - 907 A.D)). Korea also learned from Chinese when creating their own language. You can find some Chinese characters in Japanese. But the meanings are completely irrelevant. -- modified at 9:20 Monday 7th August, 2006

I was under the impression they got their written language under the Han dynasti. Han, Kan in japanese (same kanji for both romanized words), is the base for the word "Kanji" (which literally means Han characters, or Chinese characters). Maybe the characters were invented during the Han dynasty. I'm really not sure now. :)

Chinese are often called "Han People" or "Tang People" even nowadays, probably because thses 2 dynasties are generally regarded as the most powerful ones of the total 13(?) dynasties, both in terms of culture and military. The famous "Silk Road" which connected Asia and Europe was explored in Han Dynasty. There is a saying that the ancient Japanese were the children "Qin the First Emperor" sent to the East China Sea to look for medicine that could make people immortal. Not sure about this story. Qin Dynasty was the immediately previous one before Han. But it's absolutely true that Japanese created their first written language by learned from Tang Dynasty. :) -- modified at 9:42 Monday 7th August, 2006
