Whether at the airport, on the train or at home, we just love to boil water and drink hot water! My parents especially couldn't understand that Americans like to drink ice water. In the Chinese perception, drinking ice water will make your stomach uncomfortable and even make you sick! In addition, Chinese girls like to use hot water bags and drink hot water when they have their "big aunt" (meaning to have period) or have menstrual pain.

Today's episode is a little special (shy shy shy) because I'm going to introduce you to my boyfriend David, who is also learning Chinese! We decided to do a special series of conversations between David and me. The level of this series should be easier than other normal episodes as we will speak Chinese more slowly and clearly, and I will correct David's Chinese during the show, so it might be more suitable for intermediate Chinese learners! I also look forward to hearing from you whether episodes like this is helpful to you. Please leave a comment! And by the way, my Chinese name is Xinqing, so you'll hear him call me Xinqing on the show ;)  ---------------------- 露相 Appear, show face | Lòuxiàng     打招呼 greeting, say hi | dǎzhāohū     备胎 Spare tire.
