Ditto's to the above comments re GREAT disappointment at your departure from C-pod.  Your animated commentary, ultraconcise diction, and insightful opinions on interesting subjects were a delightful part of ChinesePod.  Thank you so much!   You will definitely be missed!

As a Newbie, perhaps I shouldn't be listening to this Elementary Lesson, but as a soon-to-be tourist, I'm very interested in learning about directions.  My question concerns the pronunciation of individual words on the Vocabulary and Extension pages.  'Chulai' sounds like 'chula,' wang3 sounds like wang 4, zou3 sounds like zou4, and zou3guai3 sounds like zou3guai4.  Is this colloquial? or just my goofy ears?

What about those of us with hot-chili-phobia?  Will I starve in Sichuan?  Are any hot-pots not spicy hot?  Am I the only sissy here?
