I'm surprised that only one person had something to say about my comment above ( one of the first comments on this message board)

I have a culture related question that has been on my mind for a long time.

In the background of this lesson, you can hear the TV on in the hotel room. The people who are speaking on TV talk akwardly fast, almost as if everyone on TV (especially news channels) are in a huge hurry. Or as if all the news anchors are in a contest for who can deliver their report the fastest.

My culture question is: What the heck is going on here? I know that there are times when people all over the world speak quickly, but the Chinese are, without a doubt, the world's speediest.

The girl in the video has a killer body and a terrific 臀部(thanks for this vocab). I don't care much for yoga or learning about yoga in Chinese but I watched the video a couple times
