    <description><![CDATA[Now, everyone loves a good Chinese buffet.  Perhaps the buffet you know and love, however, will seem somewhat wanting after seeing what a true Chinese street buffet is all about.  Watch this lesson, and see everything street food is, in the heart of the grittiness that breeds deliciousness.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>This stretch of street food vendors is located right outside the front gate of the university where 娇杰 (Jiāoji&eacute;) and I both went to grad school: <a href="http://ddmap.com/map/21/point-330788-%BB%AA%B6%AB-%BB%AA%B6%AB%CA%A6%B7%B6%B4%F3%D1%A7.htm">华东师范大学</a> (Hu&aacute;dōng Shīf&agrave;n D&agrave;xu&eacute;). I picked the music too. This one is my favorite so far... :)</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Nice pick on the music, John!</p>
<p>The little guy by the 鸡蛋真可爱.</p>
<p>This may be a crazy suggestion, but would it be possible to do a video to show us techie stuff?&nbsp; For example, I put my iphone into chinese but I have to look up almost all the characters to figure out what is what. Would be kind of neat to navigate a computer or gadget to see what commands are what.&nbsp; Just a thought.&nbsp;Actually, a PDF will all those translations would be better, I think.</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I closed Firefox, and restarted it again, and it seems to work for me now.&nbsp; So I guess the problem was on my side...</p>
<p>good video.&nbsp; I think it works because</p>
<ul>
<li>it's all nouns, and all food. I think if the video had the title, "Street scene", and we had been queued to look for anything, then it would have been unclear what was being pointed at. </li>
<li>It also helped that the foods in question were big enough in size so that when they were pointed to, it was clear that it was food. </li>
<li>it also helped that you guys slowed things down.&nbsp; </li>
</ul>
<p>Not that cpod wasn't taking these actions before, but it seemed to work better this time. At least its clearer what the video's intent is without verbs, as there were in the hair salon video. BTW, it might bear repeating that I enjoyed that, and the other videos.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I forget who suggested it earlier, but cpod should definitely go through the cpod offices and point at desks, chairs, lamps, the building itself. Potentially unclear, but I know we'd love to see cpod's offices.</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I know I've said this before, but I love these videos.&nbsp;</p>
<p>JP had done a video about some street food that I think I saw in this one (when you show 鸡蛋), but it wasn't one of the vocab words.&nbsp; I think it was called jian1 bing4; is that right?</p>
<p>By the way, when you do things like talk about 肉夹馍 in 请问 and then feature it again in a lesson or video that isn't directly related, that really helps me retain it.</p>
<p>John,</p>
<p>The music - is that The Go Team?</p>]]></description>
