Amazing Race

Possibly the funniest Amazing Race line ever, uttered in Chinese, by the brother and sister team of Tammy and Victor during the calligraphy challenge:

"We are American-born Chinese. Our parents will cry themselves to death if we don't win this competition."

Even though it's only Monday, I might cry myself to death this week. Just saying...

There were a few funny subtitles running across the screen. I loved the translations. Did not love the mean spiritedness displayed at times.

You must have heard me laughing all the way across the Pacific as well. That was excellent.

I have a question for the room:
Is sign language universal? Do they sign the same in China or France as they do in English?

Barb - sign language is not universal. American Sign Language (ASL), like English - is widely known - but not universal.
Others...Apparently deaf people also sign "with an accent" - depending on their native language.
