Nazi refreshments, racist stereotypes from the 1980s and boy bands that refuse to die. Such are just a few of the topics you can expect this week on our Popup Quiz Night, along with our usual round of China questions designed to make you absolutely insufferable to friends and family alike.Learning Chinese? Our Popup Chinese quiz show is intended for people who already have pretty good mandarin but are looking for a fun way to expand their vocabulary. It features nine questions split into three thematic categories, with Chinese-heavy questions and a vocabulary review tucked onto the end. We've tried to make this show more difficult than our last one, so let us know what you think, and good luck!

It is a testament to the popularity of Popup Chinese that folks are willing to fly in from New England and Australia to compete for two thingies of orange juice. I love popup Chinese, but I don’t know if my loyalty rises to that impressive level. Love the lesson - thanks for keeping Chinese language study interesting with fresh formats.

I love Man in the High Castle, but I if I remember correctly it is the I Ching, not the DaodeJing that is prominently featured in the novel . . .

@richterjk - You're completely correct. And I thought David was supposed to be a fan of PKD!
