Not quite sure which of the buddy movies i've seen that this dialogue mirrors, but it would be interesting to hear it from a woman's point of view.

I got to hear a woman say once to one of her friends, "girl, you have to train your man". Interesting how the sexes stumble toward relationships.

Now after all these love/relationship/dating/affair lessons (I haven't listened to all of them), has cpod actually taught us how to say "sex"?

Just an FYI, now in Beijing, a 1 yuan fee has been added by the city government to address the increase in gas prices.  You pay the extra fee when you travel in a taxi more than 3 kilometers. So when your shifu turns to you and asks for 26 kuai when the meter only says 25, you know why.

It seems different areas of Beijing have different experience levels with foreigners. It also doesn't help that Beijing gets lots of tourists from the provinces making their way to the big city for the first time.

dunderklumpen, It's the guns (or rather, "arms") that are enshrined in the second amendment to the US constitution, not fireworks. So I guess there's no point in going down the path of discussing which are safer, or less safe :)

Some of the parks in Beijing have events around New Year that are really cool. I think I went to Ditan Park, and there were stands will people selling things, and some free indoor shows. The shows were good, but even better, they got you out of the cold (it's still winter, even with no snow!)

I guess i'd agree with Suxiaoya on Beijing, less expats, less migrants. The fireworks were really cool. You just can't buy those mortars in the US, even in the few places were fireworks are legal.
