The sad truth is that they would convert it to a luge at the drop of a hat (or at the sight of a 红包). So long as you could charge per use. [Note to Changye: 'don't get started!]

November 10, 2009, 01:58 AMHi changye, you have no reason to know or care, but I only know about 140 characters. It turns out that many of the ones I know are in the sentences you used. I feel empowered being able to somewhat read them!

November 10, 2009, 02:18 AM听了你的话我很高兴！不过，你真的只认识一百四十个汉字吗？你不是个中级学习者吗？

November 10, 2009, 03:34 AMOoh, take the chance to go to the Great Wall while there is still snow around. That's gotta be quite nice.

November 10, 2009, 12:58 AMActually, I am. I lived in New England, and we got our share of snow.
The interesting thing is seeing people getting out their shovels and getting rid of snow on side streets by hand. I guess Beijing doesn't have the snow removal capability of Boston/Chicago/Grand Rapids.....

November 10, 2009, 03:53 AM看上去石头台阶上很滑，很危险啊。大家小心点！

November 10, 2009, 03:55 AMOoo I am going to Beijing this weekend, hopefully it will still be snowing!If it is, definitely visiting the Great Wall!

November 10, 2009, 04:12 AMchangye, well, you lost me there. something about 140 characters not being enough, which I already know.
and for everyone else, the snow has stopped falling. The streets aren't really clear, but they're passable. Snow fell about 9 days ago, and was completely gone within 3 days, so i'm not hopeful the 3 inches or so that we got last night will be around by this weekend :(
