bababardwan: Although this is not Englishpod: Shouldn't it be "dreamt" instead of "dreamed"? Or does this show my age or preference of British English?

As a sci fi aside: Will China bring down tritium from the moon to power nuclear fusion reactors?

What about a lesson on future cars, e.g. hydrogen fuel, fuel cells, automatic driving, ...?

Will Englishpod be included in the Praxislanguage subscription? I was happy to have on subscription for Chinesepod, Frenchpod, Spanishpod in one go - and at a reduced rate :-)

What's the name of the Chinese overcoat that men used to wear in the 1930s ? Like Lu Xun in this pic (www.orble.com/images/lu-xun1.jpg) ?

Still no driving allowed for foreigners without long-term residence in China?

Although the architecture in terms of buildings is fascinating, what stuns me more are all those projects to build entire new cities. Fortunately, quite a few are meant to be showcases for green cities with solar energy, ecological materials cycles etc. See e.g. Dongtan Eco-city (link: http://www.arup.com/eastasia/project.cfm?pageid=7047).

light487: There are some firefox plugins that look up characters and translate them. Having comments all in Chinese might be seen as a way of exploring the language, too. Btw: Some of the all Chinese posts are by Chinese learning English :-) I wouldn't want to have a Comments Policy where you have to stick to the lesson closely and are not allowed to post in Chinese (or other languages for that matter).
