She doesn't feel safe. She also doesn't think people are trustworthy nowadays. <BR/><BR/>But she has always been complaining about this Beijing Loaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245736986357689046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13860998.post-1121801148849351462005-07-20T03:25:00.000+08:002005-07-20T03:25:00.000+08:00i really wish we got to hear which inter-personal ...i really wish we got to hear <I>which</I> inter-personal stuff your mom misses. it doesn't seem antiquated to me -- you should ask her. ^_^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
