Eva你可以介绍介绍一个中文的joke给我们吗？我觉得听别的国家的joke很有意思。

你的问题是不是那句话有什么意思吗？是，”虽然我看不见你，我还在想你，还爱你“ 的意思。

I want to know about cultures all over the world and their sense of values.

the story of my eyes

I used to open my right eye first when I got up in the morning. It happened that way for ten years. But this morning, I opened m left eye first. I couldn't believe it! Oy gosh!

yes,20 yeasr ago,my eyes are not same size,left is smaller,and the eyelid is always half open,it is not from nature born,i got hurt from medicine which is used to treat skin disease,my father putted into my left eye when he try to apply the medicine to the corner of my eye..it just happened like that.
Half year ago,i found my eyes turn to same size, i was so happy,hahahhaha!
and this moring,it is a surpise!
but guys no worry about my eyes,i am sure i have big and watery eyes,even they were in diffrent size~

Just adding on to the points above: * Education: American education focused on creativity and critical thinking. How to come up with a new idea, and how to debate an idea that someone else has. Chinese education focuses on memorization o accepted fact. * Familial: American parents often do not pay for their children's college because the believe their children need to learn to make their own money. This is how they teach them to be adults. Chinese parents believe they should pay for everything they can to make their children well educated. * Taking care of parents: American adults often do not offer to let their aging parents move into the house with them. Instead they help them rent an apartment in a building that has facilities to take care of old people. Chinese adults often let their aging parents move in with then. * Government: Americans are intensely critical of their own government, to such an extent that is often hard for the government to get anything done. This is seen as both a valuable feature of the society (we say and think what we want; the government can't control us) but it is also sometime a problem: for example, we still do not have a modern train system or universal health care system because nobody can agree. Chinese government allows such practices to occur at the local level, but does not allow meaningful debate or dispute at the national level. * Sex: I think Americans are much more casual toward sex and dating than Chinese. ... just a few. Reading the other answers was very interesting. I hope this is a useful addition.

It can depend on the situation. - "What's up?" is sometimes meant as a question, but sometimes it just means "hi" (as a question) A: What's up? B: Not much. How about you. (not as a question) A: What's up? B: What's up? A: Wanna go to lunch? -"How are you?" is almost always meant as a question. A: Hey, how are you? B: Good! How about you? A: Alright, alright. Basically, you can use either one as a greeting, although they are slightly different.

Just message people on the site -- chatting helps a lot.

Dmitry -- It means that together, they are the first try at something. The "first bid" is the first offer you make when trying to negotiate a price. So he was using a metaphor -- he was comparing that group to the first offer at solving a problem.
