October 22, 2011 at 4:40 AMAmerican Hotels almost never have toothbrushes or toothpaste, as John said, but almost always have shampoo, conditioner and often hand lotion and mouth wash.
But I have a questions about Chinese Hotels. How safe is the water to brush your teeth with?
How safe are the chemicals in the toothpaste the hotels supply?

March 7, 2011 at 12:32 AMthere is a restaurant near me called 醉香. Is zui4 being used as an adjective here meaning "intoxicating aroma", is it a pun on the cooking style of cooking things in alcohol like 醉虾 or what is the meaning here? They have excellent dim sum by the way.

February 27, 2011 at 7:25 PMIt was said in the discussion of the dialog that 白天 bai2tian1 is used for daytime but 黑天 hei1tian1 is not used for night time, yet both are in my dictionary with just those meanings. Is 黑天 hei1tian1 seldom used?
