@regau, bodawei

look up the individual characters and you'll get it. while the 'hello' greeting is a chinese word play on english, chanelle's great contributions are wordplays in chinese character tones, different tone but pinyin is the same.  clue:

蓝； 懒or烂or褴 all work well with grass

哈陋 ha1lou4 is the one i don't like. its a play on hello, listen and watch out for this one, usually said by young cheeky boys, and not so young cheeky men.

it can translate to a few meanings, all not so flattering.

@本地的老外

避孕药一个月的费用100几十块钱。第二天的避孕药费用我不晓得，不过好像会很贵。对一般的百姓来说，保险套倒是没避孕药有效但划得来。成都平均年薪不到1万7千快钱，大多数女少年月薪8百快钱。

btw，我认识的邻居因为钱不够进行人流手术而等到产期满6个月才动手术，他本来打算吃药，可是胎儿在6个月不行，不得不为堕胎从所有的亲戚借钱。他堕胎手术也不是选择再好一点德芙科员进行，而是在不理想公立的医院，不过手术后没有发生啥的坏后果。

也许他爸爸在罗布泊夺宝迷路了，因找不到水而昏倒，然后几个美女在骑骆驼回家的路上发现他疲倦差一点死的身体而把他带回在绿洲的家。 也许那个绿洲之限制女士居住但是他们所美丽神奇的女士们都抱怨起码需要一个男人，如此他们独特的社会能继续存在，非有一个男人不可。怪不得他还没回家，中川梦见爸爸是因为爸爸被弄累了而变老了，也许他用幻术联系儿子来帮忙 ;-)

@pete

谢谢你来提出语法部分问题而改正。我从来也不知道我语法哪里需要多关注。

关于避孕方法，你说的 “plan b” 是不是交往后的第二天的那种要，对吗？the morning after pill. 我也不知道在中国会不会买。不过我只知道中国女士宁愿用保险套，也不喜欢吃避孕药，觉得避孕药伤身。我呢，我才不信赖保险套， 万一太认真激情的时候它破坏。

在我们西方的眼中，男人选动手术很普遍，女人就不必担心怀孕而吃药伤身。在中国传统观点，若有男人选择进行那种手术并不是男子汉。

一年前我女友的堂妹怀孕了，她和她男友却还没结婚了，还有她男友在浙江上班，所以无法回来成都陪女友去看医生。那时候女友问了我愿不愿意陪她堂妹去妇科医院。

我不曾去过那种妇科医院，专门堕胎和人流，意思是一样但手段并不一样。真的是吓人的地方，一共有7个楼，来的女士的年龄除了太老怀孕或小孩子以外，什么都有，楼下的收钱柜台的样子像银行一样，排队的女士很多，大多数是因为选人流而来的。

堕胎在中国有两种正式方法。一种是动手术的，在澳洲就有这种合法堕胎手段。因为我女友的堂妹和她男友经济不景气而选另一种，这种堕胎手段得经过吃药的，吃药以后导致胎儿经过一个月的时间才流完了，真可怕的。我一听到女友和他堂妹说要选吃药流产我就说不行，还是动手术更安全，被感染的概率较少，再说对身体没有吃药会伤身体。吃药的那种人流手段我看很危险，因为要通过一个月一直流血也没保证会成功，尤其产期已经过了3个月。

堕胎手术费再好的妇科医院大概5千元，人流药物就1千快钱。你认为哪种是多受欢迎的呢？

the mandarin only in the above comments was brought about by the first comment which was rather in your face and 'how's your mum'. it was written by a native chinese in response to the photograph of an opium den.

i apologise. normally i obey the rules on newbie and ele discussion boards, but felt the need to respond. pete doesn't need anyone to stick up for him, he does a great job himself. just putting in my two bobs worth.

if you want any of my comments above translated to english with added pinyin i suppose i could do that for you. that said, i'm sure there are grammar errors and such.

我能理解！

各国家历史上藏着负面，挑战在于能否深的理解原则。常听人说过去是过去罢了，但是理解其是让我们认错而改进以免再次错过。

我们人类并不是完美理想的东西，人就做为人，为建设和平幸福的未来而得克服恶劣本能。也许人性本善，也许人性本恶，我才觉得人性复杂而含善恶这两个分不开的自然现象。没有好，那怎可能存在坏？

主要的是避免因为过去的侵略或伤口而追报仇或抱着仇恨的态度，如此往前进人类才能够发展更美的未来。

nah mate, it's  not mine, mine is better, looking and faster, tossing up whether to sell it or not. i'd hate to invest my money in china and then lose it all because of my big mouth, i just can't keep it shut. we take a lot of freedoms for granted in the west, however some of those freedoms have been eroding of late.

yeah i've done that trip many times before too. used to live in darwin and travel between there and brisbane playing the football seasons. my old man still lives up there near humpty doo. you would have done the trip on the old dirt road when it really deserved it's name of 'the track'. once, when i was 17, in the old HK wagon i went from barkley homestead to mt isa without fuel at camooweal, it was shut. had to sit on 40-60ks an hour for the last 100 or so ks just so i could make it. i was going that slow the roos were laughing at me and taunting me.

bundy and milk! well, every anzac day back when i was soldiering we young diggers used to accompany some of the old diggers  before the dawn parade and service and have a few bundy and coffees.

there is a huge market in chengdu and chongqing as well. captain morgan just completed a huge marketing campaign in the south-west(know the young american guy who got paid to dress up as captain morgan and get pissed every nite for a month for 25000rmb). may contact bundaberg and see what they think, there is no bundy products anywhere in the south-west.
