Posted on: Buying a Bike
October 20, 2009 at 7:46 PM

我还没有买辆新的自行车。2010的自行车最近面世了,不过2009的就已经卖完了!

I still haven't bought a new bike. The 2010 ones have recently come out, but the 2009 ones have already sold out! I wanted to pick up a bargain, but I suppose everyone is skint. So does everyone in China ride all those Taiwainese bikes then?

有人帮我一下吗?At 6:35, Jenny 说什么?听起来“在刚刚的这些情况dixia用(?)很奇怪”。 I am sure she's saying  "saying 祝贺你 in those situations is weird", but for the life of me, I have next to no idea what half of that sentence is meant to be.

I love countries where you don't have to tip. It makes life so easy!

Good stuff - I've been watching some Singaporean soap opera where there are lots of 发疯的女人 perpetually 骂ing each other. It's quite funny, hopefully this lesson will come in handy!

我昨天坐错了车,结果差点儿错过了航班。

I got on the wrong train yesterday, and as a result almost missed my flight.

Is this the correct use of 结果?

Xiaophil, if I could have been bothered, I would have written thingumajig...

No one else having issues? I'm having to run IE 8 in compatability mode as ChinesePod just doesn't work in normal mode, and this machine has Flash 9 installed. Works on other computers. Other podcasts work fine.

user21377, it didn't seem like much at the time!
