David, great to have you here!  Of course we miss Jenny, but since she seems to have gone off to superstardom I realize she doesn't have time for us little upper-intermediates. David, you have a great voice.  You sound relaxed and funny.  I'm sure we can become good friends.

Here in Xinzhu, (Taiwan, province of China) there are still plenty of string-panties wearing girls selling betelnuts. In the center of town even! SItting in a glass box by the road side, the girls certainly make a European think of the red-light district in Amsterdam. The amazing thing, however, is that the betelnut business is not sex related. Hard to believe but true. Anyways. Point is: how do you order nuts from these girls? Chinesepod, help us please!

Thanks for a lesson on Taiwan!! Much appreciated. I've followed your podcast for a few weeks now and I absolutely love them. John and Jenny, you are so sweet and funny!!! However, we do suffer a bit from the dalu perspective on things. Your vocab isn't always ours!! I guess it's too much to ask for a few recurring hints (ie. "warning: this word is NOT used in Taiwan). And a request: what about a lesson on how to buy betel nuts from a betelnut girl? I haven't dared trying that yet ... (just as well, says my wife ...)
