John- Whoops, another John I guess. I meant that as a compliment, though ;-)

Hey TaiPan- the credit goes to John Pasden. He's a big metal head and chopped the album cover up to a CPOD one. I just pulled it off the Flickr site under the chinesepod tag. Check it out there!.

Oh, and I must be a geek, but I like that 'news' jingle. So goofy it's great.

I don't know about the song, but I do have more than a couple of Asian friends who are offended by 'Chinaman'. I like the song, but that would be enough for me to select another one of tens of thousands of other songs that must be available. What's with the 'issues' comment? How is that a 'well said' thing?

Yeah, they're all really good. I kind of wish they could do lessons as well. Jenny and John are absolutely the best, but it's nice to hear different voices. I hope it feeds Aggie some business. If it's ever feasible to do real-time video, I'd do it in a hearbeat. Last, now I understand what Ken means by 'picking it up on your own'. the construction of 'jie ni de jiaopian' rather then 'ni de jie jiaopian'.

Ken- Now I understand when you say Chinese is not always easily translatable. You mean 'Hao a' can mean 'fire away'? ;-) Have I heard 'mao' instead of 'jiao'?

Lili doesn't really want to go to Australia. She soo wants Zhang Liang to stop her. And yet he passively says goodbye......He's gotta to rise up and prove you all wrong for calling him a wuss! It's not too late!

Kitty- Yes, Mr. Right vs. Mr. Money Bags. However, who's to say Mr. Money Bags isn't Mr. Right? Confident, successful and mature. Zhang Liang is a very good friend of mine. But the desire to just give him a new girlfriend, however well-intentioned, is misguided. It's best for him to buck up and get his own hot, new girlfriend!

Jenny- Borderline phobia? How exactly does that work? ;-) Like maybe you're ok in a bath but not in a pool ;-)
