@martyzcp, Was it served with an iron board? If yes, the dish is 铁板茄子，tiěbǎn qiézi, that is sweet and spicy, yum! 我也很喜欢这道菜！

June 1, 2009 at 10:03 AMHi bodawei, I'm sorry to hear that! Oh! I fully underestimated the monkeys! They were adorable and nice to me! I think I 'll alert my friends on this. Thank you for sharing!
Hi infusiastic, 我也觉得锅盔很好吃！又大又厚的pancake, 其实看起来像个井盖！呵呵！

June 1, 2009 at 9:36 AM@bababardwan, all in good time! The movie is 《赤壁》，chìbì! 对了，cross my eyes, 用中文说，是“斗鸡眼”，dòujīyǎn
我奶奶也会常常说，你要是不吃蔬菜，你就长不高了！还有，你要是不刷牙，明天早上你就没有牙了！I was so scared!

June 1, 2009 at 8:53 AM@bababardwan, “从小” 是说 from one's childhood, no exact age implication! "缺胳膊少腿", "incomplete", is a broader term！例如，这健身器械怎么缺胳膊少腿的？这张桌子怎么缺胳膊少腿的呀？

June 1, 2009 at 8:36 AM@bettine, 不是的！当然残疾人也有权利结婚啊！对话中男的说“你看我家人有谁是缺胳膊少腿的”，其实只是在说，“我们家人都很健康，我也很健康，没有什么疾病”。

June 1, 2009 at 7:08 AM@zhenlijiang, what a shame! I haven't been to any of the events. Maybe there is something to so with the sex ratio imbalance in my university. That was 7girls:1boy last year, but things are better this year! I'm no longer there.....:( Buuuut, I had fun with my roommates, we went to a buffet dinner and ate a lot. 真棒！
@kerri881224, 同意你的看法！但是靠自己买车子的人还是很多的。

June 1, 2009 at 6:45 AM@xiaohu, 我去过四川，成都和绵阳，但是没有去过重庆！我希望你可以去趟峨眉山，因为我觉得那里太美了！山上有很多会喝可乐的猴子，它们太聪明了，不过要小心哦！猴子会抢你的照相机呢！还有两样四川的美食你一定要尝尝，辣子兔丁和石泥鳅，都非常好吃，又香又辣！
到了西安，就一定要吃羊肉串儿，羊肉泡还有肉夹馍，凉皮.....好多好多！还有西安是一个以面食为主的地方，有很多种面食哦！比如最最有名的，biángbiangmiàn, (the character is so complicated that it can not be found in the dictionary), 还有棍棍面、拉面、扯面、臊子面，总而言之，什么面都有！这些面的特点就是酸和辣！
这是陕西八大怪，就是八件很奇怪的事情！
一怪、面条像腰带 Belt-like noodles
二怪、锅盔像锅盖 Pan-cover-like pancake
三怪、辣子是道菜 Chili be served as a dish
四怪、碗盆难分开 Cannot tell a bowl from a basin
五怪、帕帕头上戴 Hankerchief on the head
六怪、房子半边盖 Only half of the house is covered
七怪、板凳不坐蹲起来 Squat rather than sit
八怪、秦腔吼起来 Roars during Qin Opera
很有意思吧！

June 1, 2009 at 4:13 AM国家后来不强制婚检了，做不做是自己的自由，但是还是要做婚检的！对自己对家庭都有好处的！不只是婚检，就是平常我们做的体检，最少也要一年做一次，这样可以及时发现自己身体的异常，生了病也可以及早治疗！

June 2, 2009 at 2:33 AM这也是一首李白的送别诗，《赠汪伦》（zèng wānglún） 李白乘舟将欲行，忽闻岸上踏歌声。

桃花潭水深千尺，不及汪伦送我情。
