What's worse: the purse or the flowery umbrella ? ;o)
Btw, is 花伞 an umbrella made of paper and used as sunshade or an umbrella with flowers drawn on it ? I incline towards the second explanation.

Could you imagine the state of this dog on a chinese market ? ;o)
I guess the dog smells the fresh plastic packaging of the CD/DVD not the CD/DVD itself.

October 8, 2009 at 12:27 AMHi Orangina,
You're right, the prefix "hyper-" comes from greek and the prefix "super-" comes from latin. Even if "hyper" and "super meant the same thing centuries ago, nowadays "hyper-" is bigger than "super-".
Btw, in french a "carrefour" is an intersection/crossroad.
