Amen to not having to make it up on a future Saturday or Sunday. I was wondering about that! Here in Shanghai we get Monday off, too.

上周日, 我去过豫园. 在那里有旅行团从来很多国家,都有一个中国人导游.每个导游会说一个外语流利地:西班牙语,葡萄牙语,英文,还有其他的欧洲的语言.这么厉害!

Sorry for the grammar, corrections more than welcome.

周末愉快!

I think shaving cream might also be:

剃须泡 - tìxūpào - shaving foam

I think 聊天 very often refers to chatting online using MSN and QQ.

Also, this common expression:

"Chat over a cup of tea"

can be translated as:

一边喝茶一边聊天

yībiān hē chá, yībiān liaótiān

Great question, zhong_bide, I was wondering the same thing.

Thanks Jason! Now I know how to say : "I'm *telling* you!", should be very useful.

How could we say "host", as in "host country"?

主办 - zhǔbàn ??

How about this:

除了日本以外，其他的亚洲国家从来没主办世博会。

chu2le ri4ben3 yi3wai4, qi2ta1 de ya4zhou1 guo2jia1 cong2lai2mei2 zhu3ban4 shi4bo2hui4.

Besides Japan, no other Asian country has hosted a World Expo.

Is that a good way to say it or too awkward? Order of words? Thanks!
