January 20, 2011 at 4:31 AMThank you for sharing the trick. 问你一下，how do you add "clickable" links when you reply?? It doesn't allow editing when one's replying. Also I have seen people posting images when they reply, how to do that, do you know?

January 18, 2011 at 1:11 PMGreat dialog. I did not know Hunan cuisine could be called 湘菜.
Maybe ChinesePod can get sponsored by 王老吉, those red cans are popular. :) I didn't know what they were called before. In one lesson you used almost the exact same words as this 广告: "怕上火，喝王老吉"
Some words in the discussion.
tradition - 传统 - chuántǒng
optimist - 乐观- lèguān
abbreviation, short form - 简称 - jiǎnchēng
tone - 语气 - yǔqì
to complain - 抱怨 - bàoyuàn

January 16, 2011 at 5:44 AMIs there anything special about using 吃下？ There are only 4 examples of it in the Glossary, 2 of them from this lesson. I would have said 吃一头牛 and 吃一头大象.

The other day I was trying to explain someone how to set the clock in her car radio, I kept saying 按钮，按钮 when I wanted to say "press and hold". :) Good point made by the hosts on the difference between pressing and holding (按住) and repeatedly pressing (一直按).
