This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

By the way, compared with those dances with body movements that are so provocative that they stretch credulity, belly dance just looks greatly cleaner.

Yeah, it's agreed that the magazine The Economist is an erudite one.
And its English is kind of difficult.
The English word "marionette" is very different than "marinate."
The former means the sort of complex puppets that are controlled with strings.
