I don't think so. When did you first come to China?

How do I express politely for example to a taxi driver that there smoking is annoying me and I would like them to stop or at least blow the smoke out of the window?

I thought 太太 was the word for wife. I generally go with 阿姨 to be safe though.

Is it ok to call older women 奶奶 nǎinai (grandma)?

I've heard another of my foreign friends do that.

Does anyone know why Chinese people think 外国人 wàiguó rén are all so handsome? Is it only white people or are black 外国人 also considered 很帅 hěn shuài too?

When did 外国人 attain this status of handsomeness in China?

I've read about the Boxer Riots and stuff like that where Chinese people hated foreigners so I'd be interested to learn how this switch occurred.

Great lesson Cpod.

谢谢我的朋友们!

question: Do I have to use 的 and 们 in the sentence above for "my" and "friends"?

I'm still a little confused about chinese plurals.
