What's the difference between "mian," and "miantiao?"

Also, what's the difference between "chifan," (dinner) and "chi fan" (to eat rice)??

What's the difference between "pepper," and "passport?" They sound the same to me.

What's the average height for Chinese men? I'm starting to get a little worried about this... I'm going to China in a couple of months, and I'm 164 cm. Is this a respectable height in China for men? I know it isn't respectable in the U.S. (I speak from experience).

What is the difference between "去" and "走?" Can you use both interchangeably?

Would it be polite to say "I cannot drink because I have a past addiction?" That might damper the mood a bit, but maybe solve the problem... I suppose you could also pretend to drink by just allowing the liquid to touch your lips and then putting the glass down soon afterwards.

Dilu and John sound so irritated with each other in this lesson. It's kind of funny beause it's helping me memorize the vocabulary!

My friend tells me that I keep saying "I want to eat Xiamen." I'm having trouble distinguishing "eat" and "go." Any links for further help on this?

Thanks.
