1 How do I refuse to go on a date with someone without hurting their feelings?

 That's tough, that's very difficult. I think most of the time, just to be honest, in a nice way. If I ask you for a date, you thought, no, I don't like you, you could say, in a very popular way, that "you're not my type. Sorry. But I'm sure there must be many girls after for you."

2 How would you personally rank the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony? Which part was your favorite and most memorable?

The Beijing Olympic opening ceremony was arguably the best so far. On the scale of 1-10, I give a 9.

Yes, I found it to be stunning too... I liked it a lot, it was really spectacular(壮观的). They all did an excellent job! It makes me want to visit China again sometime :)

It is very fantastic. I would give it a full 10

The good things about it is that it entertained me for a while.. It showed China's culture and what China stands for. It was really 'one world one dream' etc.

The only negative thing about it was that it lasted over four hours.. It was too long! But i didn't expect this.. It was a great opening ceremony. So cleverly and nicely constructed.. It was so organised.. I do not think anyone can top it to be frank with you.. 2012 is going to be the time for London.. I live in England and i have no idea how we're going to top it in London but i guess we'll see what happens

I've been watching the Olympics since 1996 and this is by far the best. Athens had a decent show but to me it was not as stunning as what the Chinese did 2 days ago. 10 out of 10! Until whoever beats China on the next opening ceremony... we'll see what London can come up with.
