COMRADE LANGUAGE: You Say Potato, I say Potatoe
Since foreigners haven't quite finished evolving yet, they're much hairier than most Chinese people. While hairy legs and armpits are considered normal in the West, they are seen as a medical condition in China. There's even a term for it: (lit. "too much hair disease" duomaozheng). Unfortunately there's no cure, but the symptoms can be treated with a razor.

ASK AYI:Traditional Musical Instruments
Hey Ayi, A Chinese friend of mine invited me to a "classical" music concert, but when I got there, to my surprise, it turned out to be Chinese classical music! It was quite beautiful, and I am now left with an insatiable desire to know about all these strange instruments of eastern melody. Signed, Moon Lute-struck
