"Don't sigh, eat pie" screams for a Chinese translation. Pete?

More to the contrary here, if one posts in an area that's open to all levels, one should at least post in Chinese and English (with pinyin being an added bonus). Think of all learners, folks, not just yourself.

很感谢

Hěn gǎnxiè。

Many thanks.

Also note, December 25th is celebrated as the birthday of Isaac Newton, someone many of us non-believers worship.

A bigger problem than finding specks of flesh amidst the veggies is the rampant use of meat broth, even in supposed vegetarian dishes (spinach & garlic, for instance). Ask if the dish is made with meat broth (用肉汤来做吗?yòng ròutāng lái zuò ma?).

我也怪沃尔玛这样的超级商店,向过去州立的百货大楼一样从事独占。

changye,我觉得讲价钱很好玩儿。原故不是因为我是一种讲价家。实际上我不太会让什么个体户减价。反而是因为讲价是中国文化的特点之一。
