 Word "lao"in "laowai" doesn't mean old.It is not a nutral word.

old in chinese"老", but the "lao" in "laowai" is "佬" it means "Disrespectful name for foreigners". You can find this word in chinese dictionary.

 people write "老"but not "佬" because it's easier to write.So now they just use character "老" but it means "佬" it doesnt mean "old".

How have been in china or Taiwan long enough can understand　what “do not like foreigners” it is part of Chinese culture. Taiwan is the same because they are all chinese ． P.S. please forgive me for my bad english July 2005
