As I kid my questions were more like "where did the first human's come from?" and then "where did the first living creatures come from?", then "how did the Earth form?" and "how did the universe come from nothing?". I'm still struggling with the last one hehe.

Do you usually need to book domestic flights in advance or can you just buy one on the spot like a train ticket?

Can 别问了(don't ask) be used in a similar way to English? Like for example "where have you been?" "don't ask!".

Here are some more useful numbers: 110 Police 114 Local Telephone Number Inquiry 116 Domestic Long Distance Inquiry 117 Time Inquiry 119 Fire 120 Ambulance 121 121 Weather Forecast 122 Traffic Police 184 Post Code Inquiry 185 Emergency Mail The time inquiry one would be good for listening practise I think.
