doh, ..thanks shanghai_rocks, ..but I'm getting this message that "the clip has been blocked in your region"....I guess this wall works from both sides. I feel your frustration guys on the other side.

btw shanghai_rocks

the brief cctv 5 reception I did manage to get I did hear some of these expressions like the 打门 you taught us. Very cool to hear that. I also heard a very excited 自己打门。。。。I only had audio at the time but I took this to be the equivalent of ...he's taking a shot for goal himself [not own goal...now how to say that in zhongwen?]

nearly missed this one. Ah yes, that was the other possibility. I nearly joked that you meant "cheming" ..but now I see you said that "sort" of thing. Thanks for the cartoon link. Yep,fun to play with words. I'd like to hear any Chinese examples you have. ;)

pretzell,

Just found my recent comment about that minisite and the links about it and to it:

CPod...is this a tech glitch or was it taken down?

zhen,

ps, as I said I'm not seeing it on my conversations page under "all my groups" which is usually the view I use. However,if I go onto "all replies to me" I do get your reply to me from this thread.

ah yes, the rhetorical 难道...definitely gets much more on the vibe ..well done mate. I don't think I've ever gotten to a confident stage of using 难道 properly myself,but this was the perfect time I guess. I'm glad you liked my little joke,hehe and accepted 低斡

pretzell,

yeah, I was under the impression that all the countries that were competing,pretty much all the countries in the world were listed on that CPod minisite. It had their flag, Chinese name and an audio button you could click to hear it and then all this stuff on the different sports. It was an awesome site.

I could be wrong but I don't think it's disappearance has anything to do with the dashboard changeover as while it was CPod's ,it was a separate minisite. I did find the address 2 or 3 weeks ago [as well as a post linking to it on this site....it went up before I joined CPod so I had never commented on that post as far as I recall and I don't think you could comment on the minisite] and it didn't seem to work and I also made a post about it but I don't think anyone responded.

shanghai_helios,

New tent platforms...that sounds interesting. New park also? Was it good and if so can I ask where it was?

zhen,

No,I am not seeing it on the conversations page either and nor did I see last weeks N&F. It's always nice to know it's not just me ;) Guess it's just some glitch.

Thanks for the link. Thats good to see all the country names and set out like that. The CPod olympic minisite had audio for the countries as well. I guess you joined just after the olympics right,so I guess you may have missed that.

all the countries were on the cpod olympics minisite which was awesome. I tried to go onto it the other week and the link was broken. Does anyone know whether it was taken down or whether it's a temporary tech glitch? It would be great to access it again.
