Jenny, being a native of Austin, MN (the home of Hormel and Spam) I urge you to try to get the original. I have had 'Chinese Spam' and it is not Spam. ;-)

My father was an engineer at Hormel and I got to eat plenty of Spam!

I invite you to Austin to visit the Spam Museum.

Well, back home it works fine Amber but my request was that I can use the download link to save the video local.

No big deal but to be clear, I mean if you click the full lesson download link, it informs me that it is only for Premium Subscribers.

I wonder if we can get the video download as a basic subscriber? It simply does not stream well for me and I don't understand why I can download the podcasts (audio) but have to be a premium subscriber for the videos.

But, I like them when I can get them to play decent.

Do you really use 电梯 for escalator? I thought 滚梯. Do I have that right?

Found this recently BTW: http://www.exploreshanghai.com/metro 

Pretty cool! English and Chinese versions.

As a tall guy, I am always pushing for the exit row (and aisle).

Can I say?:靠出口的作位

Or, how would I say?: 'Do you have any exit row seats?

Sorry, off topic BDUCKIE but...I am a student of history (in my own mind anyway) and have trouble with letting 'conventional wisdom' going unchallenged. ;-)

Yah, Europeans encouraged scalping but it was 'invented' in many places throughout history including the Americas.
