June 10, 2008, 01:55 AMJenny & Ken, please keep doing what you do best -- friendly, entertaining, comical "real" language! If I wanted antiquated and stuffy phrases I would have bought a CD course! Well,actually I did... But I threw it away because it was boring and couldn't hold my interest. And everyone knows, you can't learn if you don't listen. I love you guys!

May 07, 2008, 12:18 AMThanks for the mao lesson! I am going to go tell my cat that she is a pang4 mao! And yes, the voices in this were super-creepy, but I liked it! I couldn't stop giggling.

May 03, 2008, 01:13 AMThank you for this lesson! Last fall when we were in Beijing I *could not* find Diet Coke anywhere -- because we didn't know what it was called. When we finally found out it was really funny, because "Jian Yi" is my husbands name... He always told me that it meant "Sword" but now I know better!! XD

Posted on: Roommates and What Chinese Think of Foreigners
April 26, 2008, 03:34 AMI noticed the non-clothes changing when I was visiting my husband's family in Beijing -- His uncle wore the same clothes the entire 2 weeks we were there! At first I thought he just owned many of the same shirt, but that was not the case! I like a nice quiet relaxing non-smoking dinner, so we just got private rooms at every place we went to eat.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that you are leaving, but happy that you are going where you want to be!
Don't forget your Chinese, you never know when you might want to move back :)
