I like it when Jenny suggests going to Quanjude at the company's expense.  Comparatively Quanjude is not cheap!  From memory, expect to pay over 100 kuai each - but maybe I'm wrong.  Can anybody esle comment of the prices if they have been to one recently?

I like it too.  More of this kind please.  I agree with others that I missed some of the connecting words though, (I'm at the upper end of elementary), although my understanding improved each time the story was repeated with different graphics.  Good idea there.

It was great you could share this day with my birthday, as well as my son's 21st birthday - both 2/10  !!

kesirui,

老是 = lao3shi5 = always

老师 = lao3shi1 = teacher

the shi is a different character and tone.

John,

Thanks for the info about hao1hao3 好好etc

others: I had not heard of "zoned out" either, but have heard of "spaced out" (in Australia).

Does the reduplication of 好休息change the meaning in any way,  just give emphasis, or collocate in this context ....?

Exuse my ignorance but I had never heard of the term "pinky finger" before.  When I searched for it on Google I found it was an American English term for the "little finger" - so this might help other non-North Americans listening.

I find these little cultural gems really interesting, although I can't remember seeing the long nails on males in China myself.

Amber, another one to talk about sometime might be what happens to baby teeth when they come out - what do they do with them (I have heard the answer, but wouldn't like to spoil a potential discussion on the issue some time).

Has Connie stopped giving us the lesson sentences on this discussion?  I always appreciated them.
