    I’m a nurse in Australia and I had a patient once who was a white lady born in China that was Russian. She was so lovely she spoke Russian, mandarin, and English. She was just like these people in your video. She got all her family to come in to meet me when she found out my husband is Chinese and our son is half Chinese half Dutch. They all wanted to see photos of my family and showed me photos of their family and the husband of this lady even took in some lunch for me to eat. It was wonderful.

      Kristy Kung ik dacht, ff iets schrijven in jouw moedertaal. Spreek je het nog, of ben je inmiddels de derde of vierde generatie? Ik ben bijna zestig, de nicht van mijn moeder is na de oorlog ook naar Australië geëmigreerd. Zij konden geen (een paar woordjes) Engels, het was een hete dag, en er stond een automaat langs de weg, waar ‘ice’ op stond. Ze stopte er geld in en er kwam een groot blok ijs, ipv het verwachte ijsje.
      I thought, let me write you something in your mother tongue. Do you still speak Dutch, or are you the third, or fourth generation? I am almost sixty, my mother’s cousin also immigrated to Australia after the Second World War. She only new a few words of English, it wash a hot day, when they saw a venting machine along the road, with ‘ice’ on it. They put their money in it, and in stead off the ice cream they where hoping for, a great block of ice appeared.

      @Wong Lee _Chan_ / _Zen_ Buddhism is much more better and more "scientific" that both Paganism and Christianity. You probably know that the first printed book was not the _Gutenberg_ _Bible_ but the _Diamond_ _Sutra_ a few centuries before.
      But go to the roots. Bodhidharma was the 28th and the last Buddhist Patriarch of the North in India who did not see the future of Buddhism in India due to the infestation of the faith with foreign polytheist Brahmanist elements which we can see e.g. in Tibetan Buddhism, but have seen the future for Buddhism in China. What was the Mahayana school of Buddhism he followed?
      One of his predecessors on the Northern Patriarch line was Asvaghosha, who in addtition to the epic _Life_ _of_ _the_ _Buddha_ in verse, was author of a tract called _Awakening_ _of_ _Faith_ when he defined and rationally explained the principles of the faith of _Mahayana._ It was a piece of so good faith-oriented soteriology, metaphysics and ethics the first 19 C translator of this tract was convinced that Avaghosha was crypto-Christian. Only the blatant element of blood magic stuff connected with Christian mumbo-jumbo was omitted, which in my opinion is an obvious evidence of superority of original _Mahayana_ path over Christianity who itself admits thad "blood and flesh cannot inherit the Kingdom".
      The path of Asvaghosha and Bodhidharma was the line of succession which dates back to the Sakyamuni himself as the sequence of enlightenment events of direct mind-to-mind transmission originated with the famous "Kasyapa and the flower" event. What is the soteriology in the _Sermons_ _of_ _Bodhidharma_ is reference to the direct connection to the everyday mind-consciousness as the method of rediscovering the connection to the Original Mind and Buddhahood. Bodhidharma continued studying the Buddhist scriptural writings but denied their essentiality to Buddhahood underlining that they have only auxilliary role in determining the authenticity of enlightenment versus _makyo_ (the tricks of the devil). In general, he discarded most of the Buddhist rituals expressing his awareness of the elements of superstition and idolatry contaminating the Buddhist faith in India gradually over time, and told explicitely that their role has to be replaced by ethics, awareness and exercises of the mind (which were the base of original _yoga_ training and Buddhism in India and also exercised by the philosophical Taoists in China).
      The elements of those exercises were known as traditional Far-Eastern medicine and _wushu_ (Martial Arts) which subsequently gave origin among the others to the modern scientific acupunture and army combat systems as we practice them nowadays in various countries. But not only. Transpersonal psychology, printing (mentioned above), tea ceremony, some modern trends on painting, poetry and calligraphy which come from China and Japan and no one cannot imagin 20th and 21th Century without it. Japan, where Christianity had and has only a marginal role, could nevertheless evolve to the stage of one of the leading scientific-technical civilizations on the planet and one of the factors that contributed to it was her Zen past. Many people in the West disapointed by Christianity, some after being Pagans like me several years ago and seeing that ethnic deities fail the expectations we had from their restoration, took the practice of Zen Buddhism as devoid of the weaknesses of both former spiritualities. From some aspects the path of Zen is convergent also with the Sufi variant of Muslim spirituality, which should be not surprising, as Prophet Muhammad also meditated and bowed before the wall in nearly identical postures as Bodhidharma and his goal was to achieve _fana'_ which means to pass away or be blown out before the death, which is essentially the same that _Parinirvana._ So Zen is something much more universal than only local intuition.

      Two potential reasons for this:
      1: Red hair can easily skip a couple generations. Me, my brother, and a couple cousins are all ginger, but no one else has had red hair for generations. (yes it sucks)
      2: The kid could be adopted, maybe, possibly? Like I get you said they had the parents facial features but still people tend to adopt kids that look similar to them.

She said, "There's some Asian woman in there!" I told her that the lady was indeed the Russian teacher! I knew another Asian woman, who was a regular at the cafe where I worked and I later learned that she was Russian.

      I always thought, in America, "biscuits" were those fluffy things they serve at Popeye's Chicken or Texas Chicken, or that you bought at the grocery store in the cardboard tube that pops open with a loud bang when you push a spoon into the seam, after which you separate them and stick them in the oven to bake. Kind of like a scone but not really. Kinda disappointed there wasn't a recipe in the description, that would've been a first!

      The Salton Sea was once an extension of the Gulf of California which became cut off from the sea by silt deposits from the Colorado River. It dried up, leaving all the salt from the seawater behind. When the engineering failure re-filled the basin with fresh water, it quickly became salty from the ancient deposits. I can remember news articles in the 60's about water speed records being set there because it was the perfect place for it then -- clean, a tourist attraction, often with no wind, and boats floated higher because of the high salt content.

      China even got a village of Roman Cohort legionaries descendants called 罗马村 Luomacun ("village of Romans" in Chinese) in Gansu province. Their story is there were Roman legionaries chased by the Nomads after losing battle, they were sent to fight with Han Chinese later but surrender themselves after battle, Chinese were surprised by their battle style, everyone carrying a giant big shield, 1,000 man formed a very tight formation, never change speed, moved like snails on the battle ground among all Chinese heavy cavalries. At the end Chinese found out there were noway for them to go back home, *to much killing and battle along the Silk road at the time* so let them stay and living in a village of their own. Around 2007, they did DNA test to trace their origin, 91 blood samples submitted, all of which are of Central Asian and Western Asian origin with Gold hair and blue eyes.

      It's new because it's rare since everyone usually speaks languages of White people (mainly English). This obviously because most people from the world migrate to, and thus learn to speak languages of, White nations, typically in the West. It's often rare to have it the other way around, where a White person would learn a language of a non-White peoples, since it's less common for a White person to migrate to a non-White nation. This is almost purely due to modern day politics as people are trying to find a better life for themselves, which is why if you go back in time before the West was the only advanced civilization, you'd find migration to the West being less common, and migration to the East being more common than today. I'm talking antiquity and even prehistory, where you had peoples of European (White) origin migrating eastwards, and even today, after 2000 years some of their descendants live in China as native White Chinese. These are extremely rare, which is why people are surprised by them.

      ETHNIC Persians are direct descendants of the Indo-Iranian race, although with heavy Caucasian and some West-Asian admixture. This admixture isn’t necessarily ”arabic”, but generally falls into the cluster of West-Asian. Gulf Arabs themselves are very much different from say Levant ”Arabs”, among whom light skin and blue eyes aren’t that rare either (Assad and his wife). The overall bulk of admix that Iranians, Caucasian and Anatolians have comes from ENF people, who were another offshoot of caucasoids alongside WHG (the bulk of the European genome). What makes modern Europeans ”white” is their Ancient North Eurasian admixture (rosy skin) combining with their WHG admixture (blue eyes). Iranians, unlike pretty much all other middle-easterners, have large amounts of both ANE and CHG (Caucasian Hunter-Gatherer, WHG’s close cousin.)

    You guys are about 300 miles from Death Valley. You need to get back to the I-10 near Palm Springs, west to I-15 and head north. Near Victorville take 395 north and you STILL have hours to go. Saline Valley is also an interesting place, but few paved roads that last time I was up there many years ago. For different scenery from Death Valley, get back to 395 and around Bishop head up to Mammoth in the Sierras.
