September 12, 2008 at 1:38 AMWow I have never seen a "冬瓜" (dong1gua1) before, its huge!
I wanna see one with fruit next, chinese fruit is amazing.
And I still say if your having trouble figuring out what is what in the video look at the PDF file guys, its very simple.

September 6, 2008 at 2:47 AMwow, JP are you a type 1 or a type 2 diabetic? my sister is a diabetic.
I think ABC are very easy to tell apart from CBC (and you don't even have to look at how tan the ABC are to be able to tell). I have to say all of my Chinese language teachers liked me very much (more even than some of their ABC students, lol) because of the fact that I knew so much "Chinese culture" and they never had to explain that part of the language to me (so much so that my laoshi was sure I must be half Chinese and was shocked when both my my very "white" looking parents show up at the end of the year.) Whereas the non ABC (and even most of the ABC) students needed a lot explaining to help them understand cultural parts of the language, random instance, why you don't put your chopsticks sticking straight up in your rice bowl, or even what the 12 Chinese zodiac animals are. ~How can you not know that?!?! I mean, its on the table at every chinese takeout in the U.S.~ (and I know, thats not real chinese food.)
Honestly I was really surprised at how much the ABC collage students didn't know about china, and actually a few of them felt rather intimidated by me because of the fact the I am not ABC or CBC and yet know so much about China. lol (I'm about %10 Chinese and no one in my living family is Chinese)

September 5, 2008 at 11:06 PMI think if your having trouble understanding what is what on the video you need to look at the lesson PDF file which is then very clear! and then watch the video again, and again, and again... repition is the key to learning!!!
~Also "toufa" (hair) is listed twice in the PDF :P~

September 5, 2008 at 4:49 PMOne little problem with the PDF is that "xıfashuı" (shampoo) comes up twice on the list, just so you know!

November 1, 2008 at 7:01 AMI saw some DVD salesmen/women the other day packing up fast (they had been tipped off someone was coming) but still trying to sell to everyone walking by, it was sort of funny to me.
Amber is going to New York as soon as I get to China, lol.I wonder how many chinesepoddies are actually currently in China? Maybe chinesepod can do a poll or something.
BTW last year my dad was in China and he bought some ripped DVDs, one was a really good chinese movie and it was great until it stops half way through the movie, and yes I was totally hooked at that point >_< Surprisingly most of the DVDs did work fine.
