    hi Karthika,

    nice thread. i stay at Tianjin in north of China, it is also called as Sanghai of north China. it is 1 1/2 hrs journey from Beijing. Tianjin port is famous for trade by sea. Here summer starts in May, winter we can see snow fall. This year heavy snow fall in March which ws heaviest snowfall in China after 30yrs. There is sudden change in climate we can't predict.

    Karuth, I am from Atlanta too and I thought you would get a kick out of this. Enjoy:

    This is for anyone who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, has ever lived in Atlanta,
    has ever visited Atlanta, ever plans to visit Atlanta, knows anyone who
    already lives in Atlanta, or knows anyone who has ever heard of Atlanta.

    Atlanta is composed mostly of one-way streets. The only way to get out of
    downtown Atlanta is to turn around and start over when you reach Greenville, South Carolina. All directions start with, "Go down Peachtree" and include the phrase, "When you see the Waffle House." Except that in Cobb County, where all directions begin with, "Go to the Big Chicken."

    Peachtree Street has no beginning and no end and is not to be confused with:

    Peachtree Circle; Peachtree Place; Peachtree Lane; Peachtree Road; Peachtree Parkway; Peachtree Run; Peachtree Terrace; Peachtree Avenue; Peachtree Commons; Peachtree Battle; Peachtree Corners; New Peachtree; Old Peachtree; West Peachtree; Peachtree-Dunwoody; Peachtree-Chamblee; Peachtree Industrial Blvd and Peachtree City.

    Atlantans only know their way to work and their way home. If you ask anyone for directions, they will always send you down Peachtree. Atlanta is the home of Coca-Cola. Coke's all they drink there so don't ask for any other soft drink unless it's made by Coca-Cola. Even if you want something other than a Coca-Cola, it's still called Coke.

    The gates at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport are about 32 miles
    away from the Main Concourse, so wear sneakers and pack a lunch.

    The 8 am rush hour is from 6:30 to 10:30 AM. The 5 pm rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:30 PM. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday afternoon and lasts through 2 am Saturday.

    Only a native of Atlanta can pronounce Ponce De Leon Avenue, so do not
    attempt the Spanish pronunciation. People will simply tilt their heads to
    the right and stare at you. The Atlanta pronunciation is "pawntz duh
    LEE-awn."

    And yes, they have a street named simply, "Boulevard."

    The falling of one raindrop causes all drivers to immediately forget all
    traffic rules. If a single snowflake falls, the city is paralyzed for three
    days and it's on all the channels as a news flash every 15 minutes for a
    week.

    Overnight, all grocery stores will be sold out of milk, bread, bottled
    water, toilet paper, and beer.

    I-285, the loop that encircles Atlanta, which has a posted speed limit of 55
    mph (but you have to maintain 80 mph just to keep from getting run over, is known to truckers as "The Watermelon 500."

    Don't believe the directional markers on highways: I-285 is marked East and West but you may be going North or South. The locals identify the direction by referring to the "Inner Loop" and the "Outer Loop."

    If you travel on Hwy 92 North, you will actually be going southeast.

    Never buy a ladder or mattress in Atlanta. Just go to one of the interstates
    and you will soon find one in the middle of the road.

    The last thing you want to do is give another driver the finger, unless your
    car is armored, your trigger finger is itchy and your AK-47 has a full
    magazine.

    Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air. There
    are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Georgia. There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Georgia, plus a couple no one has seen
    before.

    If it grows, it sticks. If it crawls, it bites.

    If you notice a vine trying to wrap itself around your leg, you have
    about 20 seconds to escape, before you are completely captured and covered with Kudzu, another ill-advised "import," like the Carp, Starling, English Sparrow, and other 'exotic wonders'.

    It's not a shopping cart, it's a buggy.

    "Fixinto" is one word (I'm fixinto go to the store).

    Sweet Tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're
    2 years old.

    "Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"

    "How's your Momma-nem" means: How's your Mother and all of the other members of the family doing?

    If you understand these jokes, forward them to your friends from Atlanta,
    Georgia and those who just wish they were.

    Lordy, I love ATLANTA!
