Multiple locations on One Map

I don't know why no mapping service that I know is able to put multiple locations on one single map. Maps@Yahoo, mapquest, maps@google... none of them can do that. That would be such a cool service! I think some online companies do that, but with a fee.

A Chinese Restaurant with Western Waiters

This idea came from Vicky - imagine an authentic Chinese restaurant with all waiters/waitresses being WASP? They should all speak fluent Chinese and do exactly what they are supposed to do - serve customers as waiter/waitress. Westners have been treated like god so far in China (or any other developing countries in general) and local chinese always seem to be in some sort of submissive role when interacting with them in China. So let's reverse that!

We can probably find some good recruits among the exchange foreign students in renowned chinese universities. My only concern is they might amass too much intimate knowledge of the inner workings of a typical Chinese restaurant. Whatever it is it probably doesn't look too flattering.
