kudra Posted April 3, 2006 at 04:39 AM Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 at 04:39 AM So I was looking at http://www.dreamsofwhitetiles.com/?p=293 女生公离 I'm guessing it's a women's dorm, and general public are not allowed, (hence the guys hanging around on the threshold.) edited to add Thanks Quest. :oops: 公寓 -- David and Helen, Chapter 7 Vocab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roddy Posted April 3, 2006 at 05:50 AM Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 at 05:50 AM Yeah, female students dorm. See also here, where I made a mistake myself. I thought I had another photo of male dorms with a 'no girls' sign, but can't find it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_Lee Posted April 14, 2006 at 10:34 AM Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 at 10:34 AM Different terms have different meanings in different places. 公寓 means the cheapest kind of love hotel in HK/Macau. If you suggest to take your girlfirend to the 公寓, definitely you will be slapped two times on your face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_Lee Posted April 16, 2006 at 05:55 AM Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 at 05:55 AM Has anyone heard of the term 寓公? 寓公 refers to those ethnic Chinese immigrants in North America or Australia who don't work but live on the wealth that they bring from their home places.
