I assumed that when 洋洋 said 把你送回来,it means back to his own house. Is it correct to use 回 when you go to a hotel and rent a room?

For me, IKEA is the place to go for yummy Swedish meatballs. The furniture is just decoration.

I visited Bali ~10 years ago. I remember back then it was an idyllic and peaceful holiday spot. I had a barbequed lobster... yummy. There was a temple in the middle of the island with lots of monkeys. Unfortunately did not get the chance to try the special coffee. Someone told me that the Balinese people are very honorable and do not tolerate petty theft.

I am curious about the phrase 出现在游戏中, I thought I should be 在游戏中出现.  Isn't the correct grammar supposed to be

在 (place) (action)?

For example, I would say:

在饭店吃饭

not

吃饭在饭店.

Thanks.

PS. Is it true that there are many Internet Addiction Recovery Centers in China (as reported in media)? I haven't yet heard of any where I'm from.

看来老王果然有能力解决公司会计的问题。但是以后他就心不踏实了。人在江湖身不由己。

I can't wait to get HTC Hero down here in Australia. I have some questions for those of you who already have it. Is the chinese input easy? Is chinese support out-of-the-box or need to install yourself? Is this easy? Is there a free chinese-english dictionary that doesn't need internet connection? I currently use DictionaryForMid on N95, its essential and free, so I hope Hero has something similar. Thank you.

Can I use 肉食 to refer to meat eaters like myself, and 草食 for my vegetarian friends?
