I second it.

I am right here waiting for you, at the gate of Pudong Airport, Shanghai.

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

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
