Posted on: I Forgot to Turn Off the Gas!
March 30, 2016 at 9:32 AMI find it funny that "gas" causes so much confusion, bearing in mind that the gas you cook with is, you know, a gas, whereas the stuff you put in a car is a liquid.
Posted on: Booking a Hair Appointment
March 30, 2016 at 9:19 AMIs there a lesson that explains how to tell the hairdresser what you want? Short back and sides, leave a bit of a fringe (bangs) etc? Seems most lessons like this focus on getting you into the chair... but after that... Also there are so many hairdressers here, I can't imagine ever booking an appointment. They're all sat around waiting for something to do. XD

March 28, 2016 at 2:24 PMIf I had my wallet stolen, I doubt I'd do anything. You'll never see it again.

March 27, 2016 at 8:49 AMI loved when the library turned 24 hours during exam period. Used to arrive at 10pm and have most of the floor to myself after a few hours.

March 27, 2016 at 8:42 AMI always thought that 'can't fall asleep' was 睡不觉! I really can't distinguish zh and ji without already having some idea which one it should be.

Posted on: Have You Seen Jurassic World?
March 23, 2016 at 9:22 AMBeen teaching dinosaurs at school. 暴龙 is Tyrannosaurus and 雷克斯暴龙 is T-rex. Dinosaurs are much easier in Chinese on the whole though.
Posted on: The Two Child Policy
March 23, 2016 at 8:44 AMBut this policy would reduce the population in countries that are stable... and wouldn't solve the global issue anyway...

March 21, 2016 at 1:23 PMI can't navigate airports in my own country, let alone China. Over complicated nonsense.
Posted on: New Teaching Methodology: ASMR
April 6, 2016 at 3:10 PMCan't believe how far "ASMR" has spread. Have to say, I prefer regular, quiet talking to whispers, though... in any case, this has great potential.
