March 12, 2008 at 6:49 PMThank you Lunetta! That's so kind of you to say so. I wonder too, how the yaks are. I am in Europe, but have heard of huge snow falls in some areas of the Tibetan plateau, which usually result in dramatic losses of livestock for the nomads

March 12, 2008 at 5:25 PMNice and useful lesson. After a Cpod fast of almost three months, I should be back in business! (Not that I think anybody missed me...)

January 6, 2008 at 1:37 PMGood ending, but sad that the series ends... It could have gone on forever. And maybe it should. How about we hear in a few months how jianming is faring among the kongluo people. Maybe he is teaching some of them Chinese, so that they can become advocates of their own culture, when the tourists come...

January 4, 2008 at 2:13 PMThis sounds like an interesting DA show. I have yet to listen to it. After I threatened my friend, who is visiting and got a cold, to take her to a Chinese clinic to get her drip- just for the experience and because you can't be sick in China and not get a drip, it sounds this DA will fit my current circumstances well

December 31, 2007 at 1:00 PMJust found this in the expansion section. That would be the correct one, of course. 您拨打的电话暂时无法接通，请稍候再拨。 (The number you have dialed cannot be connected at the moment. Please try again in a moment.)

December 31, 2007 at 12:49 PMThis is a very useful lesson. Messages I often get are: 您拨打的用户正是无法接通，请稍后在拨。(nin boda de yonghu zheng shi - or zhengzai wufa jietong, qing shaohou zai bo.) The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the moment. 你所拨打的电话一关机。 (Ni suo - I think - bodade dianhua yi guan ji). the subscriber you dialed is power-off. And then there is one more: "The subscriber you dialed is out of service." Can't remember the Chinese...

March 13, 2008 at 10:13 AMI wonder if "AAzhi" is understood in the rural west of China - the term and the concept. I will do some research. In expensive Western Europe not everybody can afford to 'qing ke' - to pay for a whole table. It's normal in Switzerland that everybody pays what they order, unless you are invited out.
