Haha.. you had me in stitches! Anyway, you’re right too. I thank Meta for that link, and especially I apologize to punkprincess for having contributed to turning this page into a tea salon. Cheers!

Anyway, regarding the strange social class apart from the students of Japanese that psychopompe referred to earlier, it is still somewhat true, at least for some colleagues in my year... strange types... although some strange types also roam among us sinologists! Anyway, I find those strange types quite likeable: a good percentage of them admits to studying Japanese out of a passion for manga... oh, I respect that, they do have a passion! Although it's sometimes not particularly fun to spend time together, that is indeed true...! And come on, notoriously geeky... no, we’re all a bit geeky in this world. If we weren’t, we’d be somewhere else!

I didn't know that both paths were contemplated in the Theravada canon; furthermore, I was convinced that arhat and bodhisattva were originally considered (let's say) of "equal value," and that the bodhisattva gained prominence in Chan Buddhism at the moment it was adapted to the way of thinking of Chinese society, in which the monastic order would be scorned in the name of the strong Confucian sense of loyalty to the family, were it not for the very figure of the bodhisattva and his "salvific" role. P.S.: I apologize for the market terminology, but I am by no means an expert on the subject, and moreover, I am tired.

Yes indeed, poor arhat, what wrong has he done?

Ceresa is still around, but I never had him as a teacher, so I don't know him; for my second language, I chose Japanese, but I haven't developed any passion for it at all, partly due to the way this second language is taught. The course seems quite useless, in my humble opinion. Anyway, I should be back from Beijing just before the Olympics, circumstances permitting. If I’m not exhausted from the ducks in Beijing, I might consider staying there to follow the games! Sorcio, I might have seen you at Ca’ Vendramin, actually... I pass by there sometimes!

Damn, you know more about Anne Cheng on this page than I do!! Jokes aside, are you all pro-Japanese? No pro-Chinese vibes? I’m studying Chinese in Venice, but I’m about to emigrate to Beijing for the usual semester in Asia, and I even get to catch the Olympics..! punkprincess, don’t get down, if all goes well, they’ll probably send you to Japan to study too.. Usually, in Venice, they advise you to go in the second semester of your third year, just to make you lose a few exams and encourage you to graduate late... :-)
