Well, the regular coffee at Macer's on the mainland is 8 RMB for a large. The McCafe stuff is more expensive, but I think still under 20 RMB... Less than Starbucks at least. So I think 49 is probably a Taiwan price and therefore not RMB. But come to think of it I don't know what Taiwan money is called! (Google says NT$- New Taiwan Dollar....)

I picked up "Macer's" from some Aussie friends and just now realized I don't know how to spell it. Sounds like Mack-er's. Maybe I should just stick with the American "Mickey D's"

I did! Thanks! I painted it 10 or so years ago on a day I was trying to decide if I should make the effort to be more "normal" and get a nice reliable normal person office job. I decided "no".

And now I am picturing all of the alert words that are evading the 'y'... I wonder if there are public service announcements to remind vocabulary to stay vigilant. (Comment rating: F)

I think, even were I inclined to say yes, a public proposal would ensure a "no."

Maybe not ensure a "no".... but not my style for sure.

I just say "我邀请你“... even if I didn't actually invite the person, sort of a retroactive invitation. Doesn't have the same connotation as "brothering", which would be good to know how to say, but it gets the job done.

(And yes, our 哥哥s around here are very protective and quick to point out the perils of interacting with men whether you need the advice or not.... ;-) bless'em.)

Some countries require an exit visa. The bit about exit visas is at the end of article, though it doesn't mention China. So I don't know if Chinese nationals need an exit visa or not.
