» Train ticket National Holiday Beijing-Guilin
I'm planning to take the train from Beijin-Guilin October 9th or 10th 2009. But will it be difficult to buy a ticket considering the National Holiday ends October 8th?

I'm planning to reserve a ticket by a travel agency (eg chinatripadviser). Preferably hard sleeper, but would it be a better option to go for a soft sleeper? It's more expensive but perhaps easier to acquire.

Or would it... [Read More]

» Difference between 听得懂 and 听懂
Hey, newbie here. I've been lurking here for a while, so I thought I'd come out of the shadows to post a question that's been on my mind quite some time now. So my question, what is the difference between 听得懂 and 听懂, 看得懂 and 看懂, 听得见 and 听见, etc?

One more question while I'm at it - how are 会 and 要 used to express future tense, and what's the difference between the two?

» BRT (Bus rapid transit)
Last April I spent a few days in Jinan and there they have this strange (IMHO) mode of transport. From what I saw it is just two dedicated lanes for two bus routes with big stops at the middle of the road. I find it strange because a) it doesn't have a Chinese name. (OYOY!!!) It is simply called BRT in Jinan. b) While other normal buses must use the other crowded lanes, the BRT which has taken up two dedicated... [Read More]
