September 28, 2008, 11:50 PMWhoops, good catch on the typo! Indeed it is "four oceans for home" :) Thanks for the other new saying, as well, I love learning them. Since I left China a few months back, I havn't had much of an opportunity to work on my Chinese in a practical setting, thus the attempt at writing the last post in Chinese. It is amazing how fast grammar/vocabulary skills degrade, not to mention speed of typing/talking when not immersed :( In any case, thanks for the pointers!

September 25, 2008, 11:11 PMJenny,
我很喜欢《不进则退》！说英语的时候，我经常说《if you're not moving forward, you're moving backward》。不过，我还最喜欢这个成语：《四还为家》，因为我经常搬家。有可能ChinesePod可以开始教很有意思的成语（不是最有用的，就是最有意思的）？学习这样的成语，我们同时学习中国文明。
我希望我的语法和词语都没有问题。。。
谢谢，
柯展鹏

September 27, 2007, 05:22 AMYeah, a 发票 is government-issued; we had do go through some hoops to get ours, as they have tax implications, etc. As I understand it, the other flavors are simply generic "proof-of-sale" pieces of paper, but that's just my assumption.

September 19, 2007, 12:16 AMIn the vocab, it lists 吃素 as "to be a vegetarian", but wouldn't it translate to just "eat vegetable(s)?" I mean, could you say "我是吃素"?

June 20, 2007, 03:33 PMhaha at the one pause where Ken & Jenny are talking about "too much modesty" being pretentious, Ken says "for example..." and they pause for a moment and laugh before moving on - I have to imagine an inside joke about a mutual acquaintance...

May 31, 2007, 04:14 PMHey guys - I have a random question, what software or method do you use for typing Chinese characters? Copy and pasting is getting a bit old :)
