looks underfed Brent. I grew up with a dog and always thought like Ken and Jenny, that cats didnt have much personality and were not social until I took one in. They actualy have very distinct personalities and are much fun. They are more subtle and independent than dogs. Dogs are all kiss-asses but you have to earn a cats respect. :-) -- mardarylk -- More>>>

Since this had the positional element lǐ (里), I like to request some more lessons on describing the position of things (example: when an object is on top of, beneath, nearby, across from etc.). I always get confused on these - not so much the vocabulary but on using the correct word order. I tried to see if there were any more lessons that described an object's position by searching the archives using the "location" tag but that didn't seem to return what I was looking for. -- Joseph -- More>>>

In my city here in China, I sometimes see a woman shouting out “旧衣服换鸡蛋 (jiu4 yi1 fu huan4 ji1 dan4)! 旧衣服换鸡蛋!” on the street. I didn’t understand what she was saying when I heard it for the first time. And later one of my Chinese friends explained me that those women would give you some eggs in exchange for your old clothes. I think it is a very reasonable system. China is really a recycling-oriented superpower. -- rjberki -- More>>>
