June 15, 2010 at 9:57 AMI am surprised to see the word 上手 here. I always thought it's a borrowed term from Japanese. It's understandable that this word is used commonly in Taiwan, being an former Japanese colony, but in China? Or, maybe the Japanese borrowed this term long time ago?

June 14, 2010 at 9:12 AMI guess in Hong Kong, many young people have western education so they follow more easily the Western style of life.
In Chinese, we have a saying "一白遮三丑”(yī bái zhē sān chǒu). Literally means "the white and fair skin can overshadow three ugly deformities." So a plain-looking girl can be considered pretty if she has pale skin. On the contrary, if a girl has pretty eyes, cute nose and lips, but has dark skin or freckles, then not many people would appreciate her beauty.

August 12, 2010 at 9:40 AM在南方真的把包子叫馒头吗？
我在台湾从没听过菜馒头这样的说法，没包馅的叫馒头，包馅的才叫包子。广东人好像也把包馅的叫包子，如连蓉包，叉烧包等。
