I am one of the luckiest Cpod subscribers

I think I might just make this my wallpaper.

Bazza,

Yes, Xiao Xia = Peggy.

Azerdoc Mom: Thanks for the tone correction. I am always trying to improve my tone retention.

Is Xiao Xia also known as peggy?

RIP - I get a second-hand dvd? For a movie I already saw! There's some explaining to do!

Art, I think this was better than Dave's Love. Thank's for sharing the luv.

Now, I'm gonna go find me a 忍者。。。中文播客个子最高的姑娘你要自己的背看好了呢。。

I love the picture! Can you do another one that includes Vera and Aggie please! Who else have we forgotten?

oh. Amber lives in Shanghai. I always thought she's in some other country and works with Cpod through the internet. hahaha

Jenny looks so funny in the picture, but I can't put my finger on why.

Bazza,

The correct thing to say is: "Amber, you always look really hot!"

Then the next correct thing to say is: "All of the Cpod Ladies always look really hot!"

Although all the ladies are lovely, Amber you do stand out amongst the gals. How tall are you? You appear a head taller than Joy.

Western toilets in the West of China, however, would be shocking news.

A minor correction: "ta1 men2 dou" 的 "dou" shi4 di4 yi1 shen1 ( the 'dou' in "ta men dou" is first tone : )

That "nü" I noticed right away and thought it really funny. So what are they replacing the trough toilets with? That, indeed, is a piece of history vanishing. It will take some time until this happens out west...

Great shot! Great lighting, too.

A1 ya1, ta1 men dou4 hen3 piao4 liang! I am now totally smitten ; )

Xie xie,

Si Yao

Hmmm, maybe they won't let you in, after all, Bazza. hehe.

BTW amber you look really hot in that picture. ;)

um... no i can't confirm that... hehe

Thanks interesting. Can I confirm that, while it's still there, it's no longer being used? hehe.

Obscure piece of ChinesePod trivia...

Notice the red "女" on the wall? We are actually standing in front of a piece of soon to be vanishing history. Behind us is one of the remaining few (hundreds) of trough toilets in Shanghai. When you come visit us, we can take you on a tour. ;)

Can I confirm that, while it's still there, it's no longer being used? hehe.

Oh and my saying that I wouldn't share was just a joke, lest that was misunderstood.....er, probably.

RoninDC,

Who the girls are, from left to right:

Xiao Xia, Chinese teacher and co-host of the advanced lessons; Connie, Chinese teacher and host of Qing Wen, star of many of the dialogue recordings you know and love; Eileen, our customer service manager and woman of many talents; Zhang Na who is the voice you hear on the recordings for the expansion sentences and vocabulary words; Joy who does the sound editing and is the voice in some of the dialogues as well; oh yeah, then that's me; and of course Jenny, who is Jenny!

No, Bazza, it's only if you work there that you need to be good-looking. I was allowed to enter, myself ;-)

Will I be allowed on ChinesePod premises next month, surely I'm not good-looking enough? ;)

Nice, When is the calender coming out? The Girls of Chinese pod. I bet it would sell.

Art,

Thanks! Cool of you to share with the rest of us. When you win, we all win.

I have to say though, Eileen and Connie look a tiny bit red there. Have they been drinking on the job?

That's outrageously cool, Art. I definitely wouldn't have shared that. haha. Who are the girls who aren't celebs (yet) and what do they do?

John,

That's okay, John. But only I have Amber's email to authenticate mine's the original. As if that matters in our digital world. Can you spare some time to photoshop "Dear Art" on the picture? ;-)

Art, now you'll never be able to sell it and make millions!

I've finally found something to replace the plain blue wallpaper of my computer.

And he is so generous sharing it with all of us.

Hi everyone,

Yes, Art won the Movie Madness a couple weeks ago, and specially requested this prize... see, it pays to play. We try to grant all wishes (within reason, hehe)!

Did you win a contest or something?

ouah！

Man2Toe,

I got the love yesterday and I am still feeling it today! I'll most likely feel the love for quite a while. :)

Wow Art, did you get the love today or what?

As I am sure you are too Art, I am extremely thankful to this group of people! (and those not pictured)

That's totally AWESOME! Hi, ladies!

太漂亮!
