November 22, 2008 at 5:57 AMI have always had the opinion that learning traditional characters was for two types of people.
1) People who like to impress with their Chinese ability.
2) People who actually enjoy going to KTV.
Not that there is anything wrong with either of these things..
As for sex in China, from what I have seen both sexes will talk about sex rather shyly with the opposite sex. But a discussion with the same sex can get just as vulgar as in the west.

November 17, 2008 at 6:40 AMGreat lesson!
For a person living in China and using a computer on a daily basis equipped with the Chinese windows， it is really a relief to start learning some techincal computer terms.
I would enjoy PowerPoint next, or perhaps what I would like to see more is how to navigate the sea of popular Chinese websites. I enjoy visiting as many as I can but often get caught up in small words and end up missing the main point of the site. Perhaps another 点评-esk lesson could be contrived?
Awesome! Thanks CPOD!

November 17, 2008 at 5:37 AMBEWARE!
I have bought many bottles of Chinese Red Wine and many of them are fake!!
Be sure to find a reliable dealer, last week I bought an 80 Yuan bottle of Chinese wine. I told the seller that recently I purchased this same wine and it was great, I told him if this wine is fake I will require a refund. It was still fake, just juice with some type of alcohol added. disgusting!

If I remember correctly you and Ken talked about 马上就到(Ma3 shang4 jiu4 dao4) to also mean I just left, I'll be there soonish, and 5 to 25mins.. Dispite it's actual meaning.
马上就到(Ma3 shang4 jiu4 dao4) - Arriving soon.
