When you've just come home from 苏州 (Sūzhōu) and had a really great time there marvelling
at the beauty of the place. While there, you go into a shop and look at all the DVDs, which are obviously all copies and you get 15 DVDs for less than 1500元 and they all work! But that's not what you're happy about. You're happy about the fact that they all have Simplified and Traditional Chinese subtitles :D Jack Edited by LanguageSponge on 17 December 2012 at 12:18pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It makes your day when you learn how to say "power-assisted steering" in your target language, even though you will probably never need to use this term in real life. Edited by beano on 17 December 2012 at 1:34pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

That is what I was thinking too, standard price is 10 kuai a dvd Jack - if you are paying 1500 that is way tooooooo much. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Ok, you've peaked my curiosity...how do you say "power-assisted steering" in your target language? (I'm keeping my fingers crossed your target language in this case is Russian or German...) Edited by Teango on 18 December 2012 at 2:07am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

When I found, by accident, a video about the treatment of women in Afghanistan and it made my day! The video didn't give me any new information, but it was mostly in Pashto with English subtitles.
