玩玩
Thanks to this week’s 联想 game, I learned the word 接龙 (shiritori or whatever it’s called in English, the last-letter game), which seems uniquely appropriate around here. I feel like these posts should be a regular feature.
Also, here is Liu Chang’s latest livestream for some pretty impromptu duets (with 邬立朋 from LTR, who has an uncertain ear but a nice voice), starting around minute 17.

这里终于有点冷了，大家都好好保重身体！

接龙 was new to me too, along with a lot of the other words and phrases that showed up in the comments. :D I agree, that would be fun as a regular feature!

Apropos of nothing: this week I learned that the word for "ring finger" is 无名指, which amuses me way too much. :D

对吧, let's see what we can do!

the word for "ring finger" is 无名指, which amuses me way too much. :D
The finger without a name...sure enough...Relatedly, it always amuses me that the word for "ring" is 戒指, "finger guard" or similar.
