► 40 beautiful places to visit in China. What's beyond that Great Wall? Plenty, as it turns out | By Tracy You, Raemin Zhang 18 June, 2012:: http://www.cnngo.com/shanghai/life/40-beautiful-places-visit-china-943929



Well, maybe I was absolutely crazy in cravings if I really insisted on asking him to go to Malaysia to find this fruit for me. My pregnancy is making me feel I was just kind of flying-fox. Yes, fruit bat. Bats. I feel I want to vomit every time I see him eating any kind of meat menu. I wondered, "My goodness,... why do I love this handsome tiger?" ( Why? Tell Me Why!: Bats. Why save bats? Photo! )

Almira Izzati : whoaa ... too much tea can cause prostate cancer? what about the link between prostate cancer with black tea or preventive effects of green tea?
Pranay Suresh : There's no neutral reporter, ma'am. We'll be happy to read your opinion about Aljazeera. We all know you're not the type of worker who often fell asleep with the news.
Almira Izzati : you are right Pranay, she's a very meticulous to fall asleep. I think she's just looking for attention by not paying attention... cutie pieee, ...don't say to us that on June 20 you were busy betting on the preview of the match between England vs Ukraine ...
Jan Pepijn Servaas : Geez, there is an idiot typing her laughter lol edited.
Astrid Adrienne : Good morning, friends. I love you all. About tea and cancer, I am not sure that the tea itself is a risk factor or if the tea drinkers are generally healthier and live in an older age when prostate cancer usually occurs.
Adriaan Zef : We will have a mulatto baby who looks beautiful and dashing, descendant of a pretty bat and a handsome tiger. This is the most shocking news in our records. Gee, my fiancee is so brilliant!
Valentino Vie : hahaha ...
