July 08, 2008, 09:44 AMWhen I load this page in IE there is a broken H1 tag at the top of the page, it makes the comment text huge, seems like everybody is shouting, LOL.
The text is normal size in Firefox. Anybody else have this problem?

June 27, 2008, 03:33 AM很好的课程. 世界上乱扔垃圾的人无处不在. 还有这么多人不知道怎么分类垃圾, 是个很难改的陋习.

If you want to avoid drinking alcohol in China, just tell people you have a liver disease such as hepatitas B. This will get you out of difficult situations.

Thanks, that was very helpful.
I have never eaten fortunate cookies. Never seen them in Australia. Sounds like I am missing out on a tasty treat.

June 12, 2008, 03:10 AMA question on 3 related words:
幸运 xing4yun4 - good fortune; good luck;
命运 ming4yun4 - destiny; fate;
运气 yun4qi5 - fortune; luck;
幸运 has a positive meaning, but 命运 seems to be more negative, at least in the contexts that I have seen it, but I am not sure if it can be used positively. 运气 seems to be more neutral, for example:
你的运气不好.
你的运气很好.
or
你的命运很惨.
你的命运很光彩.
Can anybody confirm this?

That would be a great ride, I would love to go mountain biking through Sichuan, although given the current situation I will not be going for a while. Lets hope the province can recover quickly from the effects of the earthquake.
