I've always felt 水 is a really beautiful character. Simple, with just enough symmetry and asymmetry.

Why did Fiona and Gwilym quit ChinesePod? Curious... How about Constance? What happened to Constance?

Years ago, I learnt of the Oracle Bone Script, and my first question was this: back in the day, the ancient Chinese used turtle plastrons for divination... and one of the characters was "turtle" itself. So what kind of Turtle Secrets were they trying to learn through divination? OK, so I guess the answer is longevity and defensive skills, probably, maybe.

Is Fiona 混血? I remember her from the ChinesePod, cool to see her here at Skritter (just found that you guys have RU-vid channel). Is Olle from the Hacking Chinese still with you, too? Your app is the best.
