October 14, 2010 at 6:12 AMHi, could anyone tell me the sound in Chinese people would make to imitate a kitten mewing (like 毛毛 in the dialogue is doing)? How to write and pronounce? Thanks (=^・^=)

October 14, 2010 at 2:20 AMSarah that's awful. Don't know why they don't think it's bad for business to make customers feel totally under pressure. I'm really big on user reviews--would like to know which hairdresser in SH!
My advice is, don't let anybody touch your hair if their own doesn't look healthy (first of all, a spiky do in this day and age--ew, I wouldn't get in one of their chairs). If their product and technique are so good and worth that kind of money ALL of them should have no less than great hair. Next time someone wants to sell you a product like that, look pointedly at their hair. If it's not good, it's okay to scoff right in their face, really. I can do that in Japanese, and English if I have to. I'd love to know how to do that in Chinese!
And if all their hair is great, well maybe you want to listen to what they say. A bottled product can't be THE answer to dryness or other hair difficulties though, even though we do want to choose well the stuff we use daily to wash and treat with.

October 11, 2010 at 5:17 PMHmm personally I wouldn't josh about being detained, not if I were in China. And I am not thinking here of prize-winning or unknown activists. But you may not be joshing. I was going to say too bad you're not a Japanese national working for a Japanese firm then. The timing is good now however, if you're willing to: Pretend you're a Norwegian national, working for a Norwegian shipping firm. Go snoop around some deserted area of a harbor the authorities can claim is strategically sensitive as grounds for seizing you. Make sure you're caught using a video camera. You will have barely a moment to text message a colleague “救命！” before they snatch away your cellphone. You will be detained, and supposedly questioned, on suspicion of breaking the law. You must insist that you never dreamed you were trespassing or that the area had anything to do with the military. They will keep you as long as they see fit. A fortnight maybe? They'll play it by ear. They're experienced at this.
But do it now, right away! Otherwise the timing for publicity ensuring your eventual release is gone. As long as you're in the news in at least one country outside of China, held hostage as part of the misdirected "retaliation" program for you know what, you shall sooner or later be released, in good condition (good being a relative term). Well I suppose it could be tricky, to find an incentive for Norway not to disavow you. But you get the idea. Just wait for the most likely opportunities of that nature. Seems like they're really busy up there in Beijing, always some country or other that needs to be taught a lesson! Maybe such ops are hard to come by for Aussies? I honestly wouldn't know that.
* Hi CPod, just in case you see the need to remove this comment--I'm sorry, it is way off topic after all--please could you just leave the first sentence up here, because that's the important part, the point of my comment, in which I am serious. The third sentence and everything after it is an attempt at satire. Thank you. *

October 10, 2010 at 3:00 AMOh haha, thanks John, think I'll save that one for some day in my old age when I have nothing to do and little strength left for any intellectual activity!

About halfway down the chart of HTML Tags is how to put up an Image. I think I've done it successfully like that.

October 14, 2010 at 9:16 AMthey had the cheek……! Can you believe it? --Oh yes. Users of pressure sales tactics, emboldened by initial success, will always have the cheek to push again. They know you're feeling shame at some level for not being tough enough to just say no. They will capitalize on that. But I do understand, because I did the same thing with a cab driver in Qingdao, it is all the more bewildering and dismaying for starting out convivial.
But we know you're really not a pushover, no wuss! We've been following your heroic feats on China Rush!
他们四个人合伙骗了我. 我还在生他们的气! "The four of them ganged up and ripped me off, I'm still p***ed at them!" I guess? I get the meaning fine. But hope you get feedback from someone who knows better!
