Can you say 糟糕得不得了? Like if you've just come 4th in a 500 buyin poker tournament and left with nothing.

Can we have a Qing Wen on all the different Chinese New Year greetings?

Yeah I think I did fall for the tea scam. It was very cleverly done though. They had what seemed like a genuine pricelist and I only had pay about 50% of the bill (there were 4 of us), I even got a credit card receipt but it was over 1000 RMB. I did come away with 3 tins of tea and in a nice box though.

This was a pretty easy dialogue for upper intermediate.

Looks like the word for powerisers is 弹跳跷.

It's strange how the character 跳 looks so similar to a pair of powerisers.

I think 得 is usually used when defining something as good or bad, big or small, short or tall, right or wrong.
