Actually only 孟加拉虎 refers to the Bengals. 辛辛纳提 (xin xin na ti) is the city name, of course. Speaking of mouthfuls, congratulations on being our first topless photo comment!
Thanks for your comment! I feel the same way. The difference in educational systems does appear to give foreigners the advantage of “Out of the [Chinese] Box” thinking, but in truth, many of these ideas are nothing special. On the other hand, having seen Chinese higher education firsthand, I doubt we will be seeing significant changes very soon.
I’m glad to know my experiences here translate over to Tianjin. As for the blowdryers, I, too, was amused at first. Although, in time, I found that the heat is actual very effective birth control.
