September 13, 2013, 04:26 AM“不想以前的手机，充一次能用好几天呢。”
What is the 呢 doing in this sentence?

July 26, 2013, 04:38 AM:-) This has happened also to me. I did try to ask how come the only person in the family who does not have any hair is the one who has to clean the hair out. "It is your job. End of discussion."

July 24, 2013, 05:42 AMActually my situation is technically like yours, but I chose long time ago "voluntary complete baldness" and I shave my head as often as I shave my beard :-)
In Finland (or anywhere outside China?) nobody needs to wear a swimming cap, in China it is mandatory (unless one is bald). I guess it has to do with the fear that loose hair would get stuck into the filter system?
It surely cannot be because people think that hair would be dirty as I see many times people not taking shower before going to swim (at least in our local gym here in Beijing).

July 24, 2013, 02:54 AMIf you are bald, you do not need a swimming cap :-) Why would you?
At least nobody has ever required me to wear one (in Beijing, Dalian or Hong Kong), even if I have asked.

May 15, 2013, 05:04 AMMy understanding is that jianmian/见面 is "to meet / to see each other" and jiandao/见到 is "to see".
My question...
What is the difference between 见到 and 看见?

May 06, 2013, 04:57 AMTo serup's question...
Chinese people use "thank you" much less than people in west. Especially inside the family. For example my wife or mother-in-law use "thank you" at home very seldom. But it does not mean that they are rude ;-)

May 04, 2013, 05:53 AM谁打电话给你？
If one would ask "who called you yesterday", would that sentence end with 了?

January 26, 2014, 06:05 AMWe have been living in Beijing now for about four years. Honestly speaking I do not think we will stay here more than 1-2 additional years. Biggest single reason for moving on (or going back to Europe) is the air pollution.
I strongly recommend anyone planning to move to Beijing to seriously reconsider.
