Henning--you are welcome and thanks for the links. Paracetamol is a term I heard, but could not remember. Drug stores in Hong Kong probably have this product by that name rather than tylenol.

Another vote for Chicago! Cleveland would be another choice--like RJ said that city took it on the chin after the 90's boom. At one time it was a very important city in America.

John, Thanks. I was only half joking--the last time I was in China I ran out..

Thanks for a great lesson. "Though so hard my head ruptured..." Reminds me of grad school. Field Theory might as well have been taught in Chinese. All the good how-to/problem solving books on advanced math were in Russian. Important question!! How do you say Tylenol? ;-)

Glad Qing Wen is back. It was a bummer last Monday when QW was not in my feed.

How would you say embrace your fear? Or Connie has embraced her fear or language.

Are any of the redone lessons going to get a vocabulary refresh also? It seems like some of the very early lessons had more vocabulary covered in the lesson discussion but not in the vocabulary list.
