Subject: RE: OT - Chinese Ducks-was: Happy Holi
I think another reason that the name "Peking-duck" was called because most
Chinese restaurants are opened and operated by Chinese people from Canton
which is the very southern part of China. In China, we have different kinds
of Chinese restaurants which are designated by the regions.

I call that "Duitsland" in my language. What you call the 'western name'
is the English name for it. The France talk about Allemagne. I don't
know what the people from Spain, Portugal, Italy, or ... call it.
Swedish: Tyskland
Finnish: Saksia
Spanish: Alemania
Italian: la Germania

what year did Peking become Beijing? Was that 1948? I dont know for
sure but I seem to remember 1948 as being a key date in Chinese history.
Very vague memory so I'm probably wrong
