I think this was a very good QW. Good structure, clear examples! Well done.

Does anyone know what can be expected in the PDF's and is it true they come in June? Will it be the sentences that are posted here or will there also be a short grammar summary? I really like the wrap ups in the end and to have that all in a PDF seems very convenient.

This question I asked before in another thread and on the uservoice 9 days ago: I was wondering what the status is of the uservoice (I noticed Qing Wen summaries / pdf's as one of the planned idea's, but see no date). There have been a lot of great idea's there and quite a few of them have been accepted and I am curious what can be expected (and I know it is hard to tell, but roughly indicate maybe when?).

Please note this is not a complaint: I am very happy with CPod the way it is, but just curious how things stand or where you can find info like this (for instance I read here that PDF's finally :-P are coming in June, but do not read every thread). So, do you go here, to the blog or to the uservoice for this info?

My business card are printed full colour on shiny paper, twice the normal size and have a gold print. Paid 300 RMB for 200 pcs. Sounded reasonable to me, but I am not sure if I paid too much. More important: No mistakes :-)

I liked this lesson: very useful.

Aha! Good suggestion zhenlijiang thx! I looked at the keywords and did not find the name of a set so I thought maybe there isn't any. Found it now in the sets as you suggested! Silly me:I should have looked better! :-)

Anyone know what is the previous / next lesson from this serie? There seems to be no link or topic leading to similar lessons...

Catching up with over 3 weeks of podcasts, but I found this lesson + comments particularly interesting! What is the red "pepper" like "tea" (that xuchen posted)?

I think I tasted it once blended with 菊花茶 and that was realy tasty. Is it common to blend those two? I was surprised to find lavender tea in China (forgot the chinese name sorry): you can get this at you local suguo. Lavender tea helps to releave stress and is good for your stomache! If you do not like the taste you can bathe in it ;-)

Pete thank you for your interesting response. When I'm back in Nanjing after the summer I will try to confirm the "theory" and find more info on the origin of the name (and let you know if I find something interesting) :-). Good luck with you work and have a "happy hiatus"!

Aha! Now the Jin Ling hotel and local beer make sense! Is the old city name related to the Ming Tombs / purple mountain? Looking forward to season II thank you for PWP I.

@Matt ty for your response. It is no big deal :-) I was not paying attention for a short while and there are all these changes haha! Next dec i will renew my sub (maybe even earlier if I upgrade to a different sub) and I will drop customer service a line! 

My phone runs win mob. Maybe you or someone else can shed some light on why Cpod chooses for Android and iPhone apps and not winmob? Is it hard to port the apps to a different OS? Is the majority of the market only about those 2 standards? I'm a smartphone "laggard" and not really into this stuff and kinda missed the whole thing (so maybe I am asking the wrong questions), but it seems to me that there are also many winmob users? Why miss out on them and not develop a Cpod app for that OS?

Maybe, but I'm still very content with all the other content: I'm roughly half way with all the lessons: about 500 more to go! :-)

Btw. Is there an easy way to run iPhone apps on other OS (win mob)?

After being away a few weeks I find out my two favorite shows are (almost)"gone": no more PwP, and almost the last Menu Stealer! Also, I do not have an  iPhone, but an HTC smartphone and already signed up for a year before the new promo haha! So what is in it for me? :-) I love CPod, but for me June is not the greatest month yet. :-p
