@bodawei, I live in Shanghai, but I can't totally understand "上海虽然大，却不粗。"

Does it mean "Shanghai is large,but it is an exquisite city."?

people often call men "先生".

In some places, no matter how old you are(from 15-60), people all call you "小姐", such as in five-star hotel.

@mudphud, u can say "对不起"（dui4 bu4 qi3）as well.

"不好意思" also means " Excuse me" in china, eg,

"不好意思，你能告诉我现在是几点钟吗？"(bu hao yi si, ni neng gao su wo xian zai shi ji dian zhong ma?)=“Excuse me,can you tell me what time is it now?”

@xueny,people also can use "阿婆"(a po2) instead of "奶奶".

In fact, "阿婆" is used more widely in China when u call a strange older woman who seems at least 65 yars old.

If she is a middle-ager, "阿姨" is ok~

Oh~

小姐 is used widely in china,such as in a shop "小姐，有什么可以帮您？" = “Miss, what can i do for you?”

But, sometimes its meaning is a little complicated.

Hi Xuchen:

"白龙" is your friend's name ?  Haha~

It's really very interesting. It means white dragon~

But I think it can make a deep impression on chinese people.

Hi pchenery:

In china, 挣钱 and 赚钱 have the same meaning.

The two can be used inter-changeably.

Welcome any question.
