And you're still awake, aren't you? =)

You've got to tell me if you know anything about this. There's this lady at karate (Barbara, if she was even there when you were) who takes all the very interesting views of life (such as herbal medicines, electroshock stuff for muscle pain, and all the opposite views of history) who swears that the Celts invaded and lived peacefully among the Chinese a gazillion years ago, and that they've found all the archaeological evidence to back it up...She and Steve always get into arguments about that (not that it should concern him, since he's Filipino and not Chinese, whatever he says!) and he swears that since he was almost a history teacher, he knows more than her that that there were never Celts in China.
Or something like that. I'm going to miss Steve when I leave...=)
So, what about it? Is there a grain of truth to either side? Just thought I'd ask, since you very conveniently got a book on the Celts...=)

And you're assuming that another Faramir/Eowyn romance would entice us?? (LOL, just kidding. I think.)

According to my book, the Celts did at least trade with China. They believe this because they found some Celtic skeleton wearing Chinese silk. Whether they lived there or not, I don't know. But from what I've read the Celts were a pretty far-flung people and it wouldn't surprise me if a small group did go to China. (and yes, I just woke up about an hour ago.=D)
