谢谢。 先在我知道。or is that 我现在知道。
changye,
I understand your point about 比较 meaning "relatively". As I understand Pinkjeans, the comparison is then "relative" to whatever was previously stated or known. 对不起, Am I on the right track here? 对不对？

November 9, 2008 at 2:31 PMThanks Xuchen and changye,
I definitely missed "完儿", for "玩儿". That was a sloppy mistake. I think I like changye's " Chinesepod的课我都喜欢 " and combine that with the second half to make
Chinesepod 的课我都喜欢，可是请问更好玩儿。
Perhaps I missed the point of 比 and 比较。
xuchen, your first sentence, "我比较喜欢四川菜", doesn't seem to compare anything but still uses 比较。
If I try to follow the examples of the lesson, could I say;
四川菜和西餐我都喜欢。哪一个比较很好吃。
Also, are 比·and 比较 interchangeable?

Posted on: Counterfeit Money and Driving in China
November 8, 2008 at 3:36 AMOne thing I found interesting about driving in China is that there is a visible timer to countdown the wait at Red Lights. This gives those already anxious drivers an even better opportunity to jump the red when it gets close to zero. That can lead to bad things when the other guys are of course trying to get through the "yellow" at the last second.

没吃。 我没吃过！Once you get by the stingers, claws and spikey feet, I can't see there is much to them. I don't even like to peel shrimp!
For your added enjoyment, here is another shot. This one is from a vendor in Lijiang (Yunnan). I didn't try these either.

November 2, 2008 at 4:48 PMSorry, this is in the wrong lesson. I was trying to post a picture in the Hungry Traveler, but I can't figure out how to post a picture.
