June 22, 2008 at 8:59 AM方便面 is really a godsend for us in the UK as we can't get quick good soupy noodles cheaply and quickly. Just make sure you don't go for the 本地牌子！ The 口味 is awful!
How do you say comfort food in Chinese? 方便面 is definitely my comfort food after a trip.
Oh, I hasten to add, my favourite are the Korean ones, especially the 辣口味，Kimchi flavoured ones.

Posted on: China Fruit and Pre-Marital Sex
June 20, 2008 at 9:07 AMWhat fun topics! Firstly I love the variety of fruits we get in Asia. I love durian, by the way. I come from Malaysia and I didn't know it was available in China. We describe the flesh as sweet and creamy rather than stringy and slimy. And I'm not sure if it's a taste you can acquire after 5 tastes of it, as kids trying it for the first time usually either love it or hate it, and that preference often lasts for life. Similar thing with foreigners.
The sex topic was so amusing. I think traditional Chinese culture views premarital sex and public display of sexuality as a social taboo even though Chinese people are the same as all other people the world over in terms of "wanting to do it", so it's not admitted or brought out in the open as much.
P/S. Never had hayberry before. Looks yum.

June 17, 2008 at 12:55 PM我真是很怕失掉行李的！如果不见了我最喜欢的衣服，我不知道怎么办咯！我从来去过的飞机场没什么问题，可是我还没有去过中国。 会不会气死我，呢？

Posted on: Fortunate Cookies
June 12, 2008 at 5:51 PMIt's interesting that only in Chinese restaurants in Western countries, these fortune cookies seem de rigeur. I've noticed that when these are served at the end of the meal, the adults would be interested in their "幸运" and the kids would munch greedily at the actual 饼干. A non-Chinese Chinese tradition, these things! 不是真的中华传统！
Loved the lesson!
