Are imperial measurements ever used in China? We tend to use metric most of the time, but distance is almost always measured in miles and height in feet/inches.

I found I was about average height in China. I'm 5'7", which is 170cm I think.

I believe 对吧 is equivalent of: is that correct? is that right? do you agree?

A good example of 好吧 as an answer is in this lesson: http://chinesepod.com/lessons/dress-warmly/dialogue

Wasn't that covered in the lesson? 亲 meaning a peck on the cheek and 吻 a full on snog.

I think I'd quite like to see a sailing event in Beijing. ;)

This lesson is pretty easy, I just worked through the dialogue without any problems. The listening test still insists I'm low elementary.
