in the dialogue, as the guy was flipping through TV channels, I heard some Cantonese. Are Cantonese channels / Cantonese movies common in mainland China ?

just to let you guys know, the traditional version of 游戏 isn't 游戲。  It's actually 遊戲

I have a question about the character 呆 (dai). I thought the Chinese characterfor "stay" , in this type of context, is 待(same pronunciation). Are these two characters used interchangebly, or is there a difference in their usage?

it's really surprising to me that the dates for Chinese New Year from year to year can be over 30 days apart.

How exactly is the date for Chinese new year determined every year? I don't understand how it works . About how many months before the date can the date be known?
