But 谢谢麻烦你!

In the expansion section on the sentence:

你有没有笔

In the background of the recorded voice, there is a strangely familiar sound - a kind of electronic, bass-pitched vibration. After multiple listenings, I have concluded that Chinesepod is so rich these days, that employees now enjoy company-sponsored, light saber training in their spare time!  Very jealous!

I am looking at Portugal and Argentina and I am saying, "Yikes!" They are solid!

Chile is the longshot for me! No way, but it would be cool!

Of course, USA! USA! USA!

It's an amazing Cup so far with great battles in all groups except for a couple of runaways.  The New World teams are performing beyond expectations:  Paraguay, Chile, USA, Mexico, NZ, etc.!  France is crying and I love it.  Italy struggling pleases me! Japan is tough and fun to watch.  NK seems to be out of gas after a great performance against Brasil.  Now England, even though they are in the USA group, bothers me.  I like them and am kind of upset that their play is down, but I know I need them to do badly so the USA can get through.  Very mixed emotions!

Xi'An has a hotsprings located not too far from the warriors.  After a whole day of being pushed and shoved by "history" lovers, it was very nice to soak in those springs.  Also, the birds!  There is a terracotta swan and a couple of terracotta cranes that are a lot rarer and utlimately more valuable than the soldiers.  Whoever did them knew all about birds in motion.  Real genius.

Upper Intermediate is a big leap from Intermediate, but it's time I made a move.  John, your Chinese is very pretty.  First time I hear so much of it. Man this is a tough language!

It's pretty funny that people "are not not happy with this lesson" for reasons other than Chinese reasons. Pesticide/insecticide is still a word in any language so you need to learn it even in order to complain about it. So silly. Silly silly silly. I love Chinesepod.
