北京, 北京: 首都,首堵
热度 2 虞左俊 2013-5-11 13:54
Trust no one (in the US), as you are told. Trust no taxi, as you should learn from traveling in Beijing. Does 北京, 北京 (a song) need a twin brother, 首都,首堵 (a song yet to be written)? This was my experience yesterday afternoon, not a bloody lesson but surely a swea ...

Beijing's spring is not for everyone. I was here last spring, but I didn't last very long. I am here again, and wonder how many days I can stay this time...

Would you please shut up, buses and cars?

Even PBS can make a mistake (rated R50)

Rating R50 for this video is invented by me, which means do not watch this program unless you are at least 50 years old. What can you learn from watching this video? HOW to lie without showing any guilty emotion. Also I learned that Ping FU’s major in college ...
