CPod HQ and Poddies Since it is Friday and perhaps you have heard that a (fool) congressman in New York wants to pass a law prohibiting the wearing of i-Pods while crossing the street we should be careful with this lesson. Dave in Taiwan and others in China or Chinatown maybe we should not repeat this lesson out loud after Jenny. I can see myself in Jubei or in Taipei saying A: 來人啊！有小偷！ Lái rén a! Yǒu xiǎotōu! Somebody come their's a thief B: 站住！別跑！我們看見你偷東西了！ Zhànzhù! Bié pǎo! Wǒmen kànjian nǐ tōu dōngxi le! Stop! Don't run! help us catch a thief............ Unless CPod gives me the words for : I need a lawyer or It was an honest mistake Happy Friday Mike in Jubei]]> Mike in Jubei

In a dangerous situation like this, doing nothing might be the best way to protect yourself from further trouble, particularly when you're in foreign countries. I know I am a chicken, but I only have one life! I wish I were brave enough to yell and chase a thief.]]> Changye

This lesson just drew me right in. Wonderful sound effects. I wish the business intermediate lessons could have similar drama. Rather than just a tour through a trade show, why not put in a pickpocket who is working the show? Business folks with laptops who are distracted by looking at the merchandise at the booths--easy pickings.]]> Daryl
