I think it’s possible to know how good you are “入乡随俗” in this “Land
Of Free, Home of Brave” society. Following 21 (twenty one) questions are
the measurable indicators by my book. If you can answer 11 (eleven) positive
YES, with 80% confidence we may say that you are mostly NOT the guy to say
“好山好水好寂寞”.
