July 1, 2013 at 11:12 AMmeh... I'm with Xiaomai in a sense... I don't enjoy someone trying to teach me Chinese in a setting where I cannot read or hear what's being presented. If the majority of individuals here are learning simplified characters, and also participating in elementary level lessons (1 level above the beginner level!!!), then I think it should be common courtesy to provide at least some pinyin.. "Showing off or not showing off" is not really the point, but I can understand the frustration.

Posted on: The Tea Scam
May 31, 2012 at 12:21 PMWow.. I had no idea this was a common scam. Actually I met a girl for a date (we ended up dating for a while after that) and for our first date, we met near Tiananmen Square. After walking around for a short while, we just decided to stop somewhere and chat. Nearby was a tea house so we went and had some tea. Everything was quite nice and we had a private room. Anyway, the bill came, and I remember it being somewhere near 3,000 RMB... I was shocked, and angry, but I actually paid it without a word because I didn't want to be impolite on the first date. I tried to justify the price by assuming maybe it was becase of the accomodations and the location, but really there is no justification. Glad this lesson came out. I will be checking the menu first from now on.
Posted on: Looking for a Parking Space
May 15, 2012 at 10:55 AMShifu does not mean driver (but it can be used when addressing a driver). Maybe that's where you're getting confused? Shifu means kind of like a master of their trade, or something similar, so I took it that she was speaking to a parking lot attendant, and hence addressing him as a professional and showing him some respect.

July 2, 2013 at 2:02 AMRWN, if you're not willing to consider anyone else's comment, then why do you yourself comment, only to repeat what you've already said? I don't understand it.. Anyway, to clarify what you may still not understand about my comment, the use of Pinyin on a site gives individuals a convenient method of learning a symbolic language that they may be unfamiliar with. Sure, we can download these little tools such as what you've mentioned to translate such things, but there are individuals that are not familiar with this. There's really nothing to debate about this. The comment was left as a very clear observation.
