Thanks!

The Toastmasters "guess the accent" thing went really well last night. At least, I had a geat time and I think everyone else did :-) Huge thanks to everyone who recorded (or wrote) a greeting for me - I didn't use them all but got a good sampling. I think Billy from Wales really threw them; I'm not sure anyone there really knew where Wales was. (Not unreasonable: how many Americans or Brits can locate Guangzhou on a map?) I heard that one guy said he'd never really gotten a sense of how US accents vary until now, so I think that means it was a big success.
