But there is a small mistake: it should be 国姓爷 instead of 国性爷。 性 means sex, or feature; 姓 is surname. Hi, interesting article!

Though I've flogged that horse quite a few times in this space, that should always be the first question, right? Wu Ming,

No nanny problems, it was just down. But I've not had any problems getting on from here in Dongzhimen. Hopefully any delays are just minor glitches and not the nanny getting restless. Thanks for checking in. Froog,
