If you visit the Harbin beer tent at Ice and Snow world, expect your beer to instantly turn into a slushie when you pour it into the glass.

December 21, 2012, 02:53 AMOverall I would say the older Intermediates are a lot harder than the new ones. In the grand scheme of things "Take Some Medicine" is on the newer side, although I will agree it is the easiest Intermediate I've seen. A few of the recent Intermediates are more challenging, but I would would not put any of them up there with lessons like Weather Forecast, Chinese Wedding Customs, or maybe Internet Slang.

June 15, 2012, 01:40 AMI have been thinking about taking this test, simply as a means of measuring progress. The one thing that has been difficult to track down is accurate information about it. The "official" website was last updated in 2007. Is the following the real thing or some sort of knockoff? I looked at the Level III and IV tests and the difficulty level was very... underwhelming.

April 02, 2012, 12:39 AMIf you aren't ready for the plunge on a home PC, you can do this on the iPhone. I am at Intermediate level and have found this manageable. A lot of 3rd party apps have support, such as Facebook and Angry Birds.

February 15, 2012, 04:48 AMHas anyone come across 坑爹? I tried googling it a bit but could not piece it together. As in "这个X太坑爹了".. the context seems to mean something like "shady" or somehow not right.
