I just saw something in a Chinese newspaper ad about 法轮 classes。Thanks Chinesepod for helping me on my quest to understand a Chinese newspaper!

我的好朋友是中国的朝鲜民族。虽然他们的语言跟韩国人的一样,但是文化都不同。

I was talking about a person's accent today, and I said, "她的口音很重“ I wasn't sure, but I went with it.  SCORE!

I saw a what I now know as a 娘娘腔 (possible 美男)in Taiwan. He was part of the flight crew at EVA Airways. He looked a lot like that guy in the picture you posted.

There's a story called "我们家的男子汉" by 王安忆.  I had to read it in my modern Chinese literature class, and it's kind of funny.  Maybe that can help some of you 了解 the meaning of 男子汉!

Here in the States, they love the carts, but in China they see them as old fashioned. They didn't have the carts in 江门 when I went last year.

I have a cell phone from China mobile, and the last time I used it was July 20th when I was in China.  Will the number still be valid when I go back in September of this year?
