Comment by Shu on December 26, 2011 at 5:53am Hey, Wenzhuo,
Thank you for the post, it is very interesting. For the dongbeihua, I only knew 啥 before. Mind telling what yazi means in maluyazi? Thanks.
Hi, Shu
牙子,就是马路边的一排长方体的石头----kerb。:)

It is very interesting, thank you for telling me:)
Happy new year to you.
Comment by Thomas Doherty on February 3, 2012 at 8:31am Pinyin in " I was alone , but not lonely " should be " Wǒ dúzì yīrén, dàn bìng Bù Juéde jìmò " since you have used "但并 " ( " dàn bìng " ) for the word "but".
@Thomas Doherty: Hi, Thomas, you're right, thanks for the Pinyin correction. :)
Comment by Shu on February 7, 2012 at 10:10am Hey Wenzhuo,
Haven't seen your comments for a long time. Welcome back and happy Dragon Year!!!!
Hi, Shu
I haven't surfed the Internet very often during these days, you know it's 春节. I hanged out with my friends, attended class reunions of primary school, middle school, high school and college. I'm so happy these days, and tomorrow I'll go to the movie with my cousins. I'll come back soon and join studymorechinese again ! :)
