Art, when I was a child brunettes were exotic. Apart from an occasional redhead I only saw different shades of blond around me. It was terrible. Deep in the German countryside you might still find barren places like that. I still don't get how 土包子 like Claudia Schiffer or Heidi Klum ever became so-called "super models"...

Don't get me wrong: Of course looks don't last. But difference can be a factor even beyond appearance. Mutually explore the unknown!

One additional reason for the attractiveness of Asian women: They are looking *different*. Everybody is blond. Isn't that utterly boring? 看腻了.

Most of those peculiarities I know from German traditions as well. Of course you are not supposed to go out with wet hair. Amber, that is risky stuff, don't do it! Oh, and both me and my family got some severe colds from AC, so we are very carefully using those now. And you do *not* try to heat up when you got a cold? It makes you sweat and thereby instantanoously reduces fever. Isn't that a universal (scientifically proven?) traditional way to fight fever?

Auntie, you chose one of the harder Advanced lessons. Let me give it a try (with the kind help of online dictionaries): 独家 --> exclusive (as you already posted) 关系图 --> a graph depicting relationships (to analyze who it might be) 蹲了两个星期拍到的。。。 --> I understood this as "it took 2 weeks of lurking to get this shot" 经纪人 --> broker (agent) 跨页大照片 --> a picture spanning the whole width of the magazine (think boulevard press)

In Cologne Halloween is a rather new import; I saw it here the first times just a couple years ago. But it is embraced tightly by the Kölsch population because it is an awsome excuse to celebrate yet another carnival party with cologne beer, singing and dressing up (next to the actual carnival weeks, Sylvester, Christopher street day, marathon, Christmas,...). Always amazing to watch for someone who is not a 100% native.
