August 10, 2010 at 10:00 PMbtw , thanks for the pre-emptive translation of 门无靠 as "don't lean on the door". I knew 靠 as "depend on" which, given Jenny's mention above of how 挤[crowded, squeeze] which is often reported, "don't depend on the door" is a little alarming.

Interesting. Thanks for the link to the Shanghai subway map which reminded me of the London tube map a little. There was a link to the full map with planned future extensions, which is here:

I must say I'm a little confused now, though. You say this is a map of the subway lines. That map is found under urban rail and is calling it the Shanghai Metro. But looking at the photos below the map, while some could potentially be underground [though it's difficult to tell for sure], mostly it looks like above ground rail. Can anyone explain that? Is this really a map of the subway, or is it above ground rail, or is it a combination of both? If it's the latter, does the numbering incorporate both systems then?

August 10, 2010 at 2:35 PM呵呵..I just found out today that you can type www.foofle.com in the address bar and it will correct you and take you to google.com. Now if only Chinese could be as accommodating with understanding my pronunciation [yikes...perhaps they are and I´m just further off than I thought, hehe ]
2. 是满意的满。 Now how about a Freudian analysis of that character mate? ...looks like there's some water on the left and grass above . Is it a manyi man [si S style]?
