I suppose living in China you see more cases of wild driving than you do of cases where someone is caught/punished for said driving, good to know that the police are on it though!

电子够这台机器好想是不必装的。在中国,单行到可以相反方向地开车, 速度可以超过, 那里都可以掉头,做这些的司机我从来没看过被发现或罚款。。。but then again, I exclusively bicycle :)

Mudphud,

Miantiao's explanation was quite sufficient, however as an aside, if you spend anytime in China you will find that 面's versatility extends even beyond the aforementioned. The traditional character 麵 (mian4) meaning flour or noodles, has been simplified to 面, which is what ChinesePod uses. So from a simplified standpoint this is another 'face' to 面.

Example...面条 (mian4tiao2) means noodles, which, if I'm not mistaken, are the characters that coincide with 'miantiao's name?
