One of the most marvelous features of Canton is the city of house boats, floating and stationary, in which about a quarter of a million people live and, it may with truth be added, are born and die. This population is quite distinct in race from the land population of Canton, which looks down upon it as a pariah and alien caste.

Eine der wunderbarsten Eigenschaften von Canton ist die Stadt der schwimmenden und stationären Hausboote, in der rund eine Viertelmillion Menschen leben und, mit der Wahrheit hinzugefügt, geboren werden und sterben. Diese Bevölkerung unterscheidet sich in ihrer Rasse deutlich von der Landbevölkerung von Kanton, die als Paria und außerirdische Kaste betrachtet wird.

I like Disney stuff. No-one looks at 'Toy Story' and says,' Oh, that's just for kids.' Why is it that games can only appeal to a certain audience, but movies and books - I mean, how many adults read 'Harry Potter?'

Americans think they're the leader of the world and yet can say that they're putting their economic interests ahead of the lives of - quite possibly - tens of millions of people who over the next 50 years will die because of floods or storms or tropical diseases or whatever. I guess that sort of thing makes me angry.
