我去看电影的时候， 最喜欢的是一边是盐爆米花，一边吃巧克力（比如maltesers...）： 又盐又甜，非常好吃！

The peace sign originated in Japan? I thought it was the "V" for victory as waved by Churchill at the end of the second world war. http://bp1.blogger.com/_F2xmLAzQ8Ho/Rw7L6_OCNaI/AAAAAAAABS8/6GijI9iNng8/s1600-h/v_for_victory.jpg Then its association with the end of the war made it symbolise peace and in the 60s/Vietnam war period was appropriated by anti-war campaigners. How it then became compulsory in Chinese photos I've no idea...

I think the "fong" pronunciation is common in Taiwan from what I've heard. But who says there's a "correct" pronunciation. As long as it's not easily confused with other words I'm sure you're fine either way. For photos, my Chinese friends ask "西瓜甜不甜？“ to which the smiley answer is "甜！！！”

Hey klgardensong: In iTunes your podcasts should have a little "i" in the description column. Click that to bring up the dialogue. Select and copy the text and paste it into (for example) TextEdit. In the TextEdit menu, under Services you should find the Chinese Text Converter function. Also, if you're in Simplified Chinese input mode, selecting text and pressing Shift-Alt-C will convert to Traditional.

siyue6287 ... dreadlocks: http://www.hji.co.uk/hjimages/images/qhs818/hji/medium/2006-men-dreadlocks.jpg I second the call for a foot massage episode. I used to love going for foot massage but never managed to get very far in conversation with the masseurs/masseuses since they were really Anhuinese and it took me ages to get the accent. If a certain part of my foot hurt, they would tell me which part of my body wasn't well - always seemed to be the liver... Too much Qingdao I guess!
