Hi, Felix,
It is good seeing you here. Like you, I have not visited this site for a while. Somehow, I got myself over-committed. Unfortunately, I do not watch too many movies, and am not aware of the the details of "bedazzled". With that said, as far as the visitors of this forum are concerned, speaking and writing good English is obviously extremely important, and I would say selling his or her soul in exchange for that purpose is probably worth serious consideration. I remember in one of the scenes of the "Home Alone" movies (I cannot remember which one), the mother declared that she would "sell my soul to the devil" in order to get transportation to find his son who was left lone. To most of us in this forum, having a good command of English is at least as important as finding one of our sons, especially considering the fact that the mother in the movie has as least three sons, right? Just kidding!
I will be visiting China in July. While I will probably not be able to go to Beihai, I will land in Beijing. If you are still in Beijing, would you be interested in having a lunch or dinner together?
