I don't think the main reason was that it was attractive. It was a status thing. It showed you were wealthy enough to not have to walk anywhere. You had servants to do everything for you.

but to inflict pain to do it. To break their bones *shudder*. I know they did it and I know why, but I still don't know how. I guess it's not a whole load different from the neck extenders and corsets, but I'm thankful I live in a place and age where pierced ears and circumcision are the worst that is legal/expected/accepted/thought beautiful and where refusal to conform is not a literal or social death sentence.

Circumcision is just as drastic, or ped called it barbaric and I agree.

Speaking of Engrish - I read this in Time magazine last week: "Hoping to avoid embarrassment at the '08 Olympics, Beijing officials have sent linguists to scour the city's signs over the next eight months to correct their infamously quirky English translations."

Bummer!

If anything, they'll get worse.
