March 24, 2009 at 6:45 AMWhat amuses me is that chinese visas cost different amounts depending on which country you come from. Aussies pay a lot less than Yanks!!
I think they must like us more ;)
Pete - be careful what you say about TW - you might lose your visa tomorrow!

At sometime I would like to know when to use dui4 对，wei 为，and gei3 给 for English "for", acknowledging they have other meanings in context.

March 9, 2009 at 12:16 PMI can't say I ever heard trucks talking while in China - just wasn't in the position at the right time.
However a lesson which includes the message on the trains - long distance when nearing destination, as well as the subway trains, would be good. Oh, and the buses - what is the recorded message they use? I realise it might be different in different places.

Posted on: Illegal taxis
February 6, 2009 at 10:10 AMComing out from the summer palace in Beijing some young guys met me and asked if I wanted a taxi. Being wary I at first said "no," but they assured me it had a meter. So I agreed. Well, it did, but it went around awefully fast! And they charged me about 80 kuai when I think it should have been no more than 30.
However on the trip to the Summer Palace I had negotiated a good price with a poor looking middle-aged guy in a beaten-up old car.

January 27, 2009 at 2:36 PMReally liked this lesson for the sequencing it includes and other connections. I'd love another recipe lesson too sometime - lots of possibilities, and all those possible verbs to do with cooking and preparing food - great stuff.

P...ed (without OFF) means to be drunk, as in full of p...
Mind you, there are other words that could have been used. I try not to use those terms myself, and for the benefit of users of this site whose first language is not English, these terms are not polite.
