May 8, 2009 at 1:02 AMIn the PDF Supplementary Vocab, would the translation for 入住时间 be check-in time and 退房 be check-out? Just want someone to confirm that I haven't misunderstood the rather wordy explanation.

Posted on: How Far Away are You From Understanding 离？
April 28, 2009 at 4:55 AMCan we say 你的家离公司有几远？instead of 你的家离公司有多远？ or is that considered wrong grammar?
When we talk about standards and objectives, do we have to use 离 when we want to use the word 差，or can it be substituted with 比？E.g. 我的中文水平离你的差得多。我的中文水平比你的差得多。
How about this sentence using the word 跟? 我的中文水平跟你的有很大的差别。

April 27, 2009 at 2:53 AMNever stolen a menu before but stealing pepper shakers was a favourite pastime during university days. Other crimes: stealing cutlery, claypots and cups. Ahhh, what nostalgia...we were truly the young and restless in those days!

April 23, 2009 at 2:30 AMLots of stories of the satnav (GPS) causing big vehicles to get stuck in narrow country roads in UK! Personal experience also sees them leading the driver to a no-entry road!

April 23, 2009 at 2:00 AMI understand that certain types of seafood are not halal for some Muslim sects. Like those that don't have scales, or those that do not have fins or tails.

May 12, 2009 at 4:36 AMWhat a great episode! Just thought of another category All Time Favourites. What would this be translated as？ This category would include all the 无料菜 that 老外 love to order, including 甜醋排骨。
