I've never been to las vegas but I thought I would add a las-vegas related sentence pattern.. 老公:拉斯维加斯太好玩!我已经玩了老虎机一个多小时了. 太太:对呀!你已经输了好多钱了!

I confuse 签名的签with 填报的填 tian2 which means fill in. They sound pretty similar to me.. Are these sentences correct: 情签一下你的名在这儿。 情填这分报告。 I think I always thought they were the same word! Thanks.

These words for firing someone are all very interesting.  I just looked up 炒鱿鱼的意思on google.. Here's a link explaining how this meaning developed if anyone is interested..http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/13034251.html

I would like to note that you should be saying "straight foreign women," because the lesbian scene in China is 很不错-especially if you are under 30.

My favourite beijing food is yoghurt... You can buy it at most convienence stores. It comes in small clay bottles and you drink it with a straw.. It tastes like the (natural) yoghurt I eat at home.. thick, sour with some sweetness from honey added.. Not like the yoghurt in Zhejiang which is mass produced, thin and very sweet..

I think maybe a problem with traffic in China (or in Hangzhou where I live) is just that there are more and more drivers every year. Plus some roads here aren't built for cars. They're two small. Add to that, the fact that for half the year the government is usually the same roads it rebuilt last year, and you have a lot, a lot of traffic.

I have to say that I think Amber and David here are a little off, at least in Hangzhou, where I live.  I taught English at a university and it was very easy for me to see the students in my classes who were boyfriend and girlfriend. Also, there are several hotels around my university, some with hourly rates.  I think that students here are less conservative then the Chinese youth David described. For many students though, anything gay is still taboo.
