May 11, 2009 at 3:41 PM啊哟：（ 悲哀不得了的故事。很好的课程，很有意思的！ 其实送孩子当各种各样的仆人 在世界各个地方都会发生。。。 到底这个孩子如果是真的故事会不会福？ 在对话里提到了一个很有明的太监，这样的太监多不多？

May 11, 2009 at 12:16 PM@reigau - to the download speed. I am in China and it varies a lot...there are days where one lesson has to be "re-downloaded" 10 000 times and there are days when I am surprised with the speed. I don't think it's linked to CPod directly.
About the Mombai...hmm that Chinese name gives me the same associations as Jenny has:))
And I loved the phrase about people dancing on the street.

In my experience of learning Chinese, also from attending theory of military classes and other classes, therms are the hardest to grasp for me...so I rather make a full use of this lesson:) Probably depends on a person.

continuing pete's, jenny's and matt's comments:)
Attending the army is not compulsory in China, but almost at each level (I heard even about primary school) students undergo a military training. Excluding the classes about Marxism/Maoism/3 delegates/reforms of Deng Xiao Ping a class "Theory of war (军事理论）is also a must in the University!
Remind yourself the info's about ever-growing China's military budget.
As well..looking from geo-political perspective. Open Google Earth, turn the globe that China will be right in front of you and look closely...In this region of Earth China is the key country...look at the bordering countries like India, North Korea, Pakistan...and think a while what would happen if.... I am not going to discuss internal geo-political issues, leaving it for you to figure out (also it might be not very appropriate on a public forum). I guess war topic always will be important in this country and this lesson seems very in place:))
Thanks for the geography tour too:)) I love geographical lessons:)

May 27, 2009 at 3:29 PM如果让我选我最喜欢的城市，当然我会选杭州，但是在这个课里只有上海，成都， 北京。这三个里面上海最接近我的家乡，因为在上海还有很多欧洲风格的建筑（我在东欧住了十二年）和很相似的气氛。我在上海最喜欢城市老的部分，同时我喜欢看石库门：）） 上海也是一个特别的城市，不管那个时代，人很多，而且这些人来从各种各样的地方。上海人看到老外不会喊“halo、hello”。上海吸引我，有点秘密的气氛。还有。。。上海是南方的：）） 我最喜欢中国的南方。
成都。。。很懒的气氛，去那边就什么都不想做。不错的地方，但是四川有其他的更伟大的宝贝，像理塘，康定， 巴塘！但是四川菜在全中国最好吃！！！
北京，怎么说呢。。。我不太喜欢北京，感觉什么气氛都没有，而且很多老市区已经不存在。我去过了几次，也不想回来。 北京的菜好吃：）
啊哟！！！ 我很久没有来chinesepod，而且新的iTunes蒲行，好在可以在网站上听一听，看一看。谢谢给我们新的多媒体课程，我在准备HSK，需要阅读，听，看很多资料.
