April 1, 2011 at 7:51 AMOne cultural undertone: If you are a foreigner and come to China for an extended stay, but were born without a sense of humor, you will never make it home alive.
If you don't understand what I mean, you have never been to China before.

March 28, 2011 at 4:41 AMI have explained the difference to students many times between the "Mandarin orange" (tangerine) and the bigger oft-called "Orange." A lot of my students have found it funny that we call the little 橘子 mandarin oranges, and they were surprised when I told them that I would not ever refer to the little ones simply as oranges. (Though I usu. call them tangerines, I think mandarin oranges is easier for my students to remember, and more interesting because of the China reference).
Now that I think about it, this discussion usually comes up when someone asks me what is the word for 橙子, and then they are surprised when I tell them that we call it "orange," because most of their text books say that 橘子 is orange.

March 26, 2011 at 3:12 AMI have a question
Is this the same "落伍" I often hear when I tell 外地人 that I live in Anhui Province? I have been trying to figure out this word for a while now, and I always had the impression that the meaning was "poor" or "underdeveloped。"
