[QUOTE="Hornbein, post: 6818836, member: 489043"] Chinese : Back in 1850 or so Western currency was "little beards." A US citizen was a "second rate Englishman." The word for horse is "kudu" both in Nepali and Indonesian. I'm fairly sure the cultures have a common ancestor, not so much because of the languages though. The way the people look and live is similar. [/QUOTE]
