hey tal,

yeah i think foot 'racing' or 'race' would be 跑赛。

100米快跑赛 - 400米快跑赛。sprint. 

does anybody know the chinese translation for middle distance and long distance running race?

would it be 慢跑赛 五千米慢跑赛 maybe? if so, then the winner of a 慢跑赛 would be the one who 跑's the 快est.

babyseats for bikes in china. i've often wondered about the risks parents take, either on bicycles or scooters. and i've often wondered about accident stats. i think i'd walk my child to school, to the market, wherever.

just an aside, i am at a wangba, and learning some really 地道脏话 from the bloke across the row. he's really going right off, at a computor game, he's going to 操 this, and 干 that, with particlar reference to somebody's mother's bi, and directions on how to get there quickly

买不起 yeah you are right, can't afford it.

买不到。 could have two meanings:

1. the shop owner you are haggling with will say this if your offer is too low.

2. the goods you are seeking are not available in the area.
