Basically from what I understand, people in Shanghai treat apartments like cars, if you rent it out and let someone use it, its been used so its not as desireable. So leaving it empty for 3 years and letting the prices increase is better than renting out for 3 years and then selling it out.

Stop me if I'm wrong.

I was watching a Chinese cooking show this morning and was wondering what they were saying. i.e. they were saying add the oil and something into the pan but I didn't understand what kind of oil or what kind of specific ingredient.

Can we have a chinesepod that's done like a cooking show? It's so I can understand what they're adding into the pan. Plu-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.

How interesting, I never thought calling someone a "cow" could be a compliment.

怎么这么说,sounds weird to me because i always hear it as 这个地方怎么真么大。So it sounds weird that it has this other meaning.
