when is your university summer vacation?
Hi guys,
Just curious whether the summer holidays in universities around the world the same as in Taiwan?
Ours are normally from the beginning of July to the end of August, the date could be slightly different every year according to the academic calendar announced by minister of education.
I know some European universities have 3 semester per academic year, rather than 2 semesters(9-1, 2-6) we have. Can someone share the info, thank you!

the difference between 뚱뚱하다 and 통통하다
Hi,
I am wondering how to tell these two words, since they both sound quite similar.
May I confirm the pronunciations that 뚱뚱 is "d-u-ng" while 통통 is "t-o-ng"??
the 2nd question is, as an adjective, is 뚱뚱하다 more negative to describing people than using 통통하다?
Thank you so much for the help.

The names of places in The Lake District (UK)
Hi there,
My friends are planning a trip to the Lake District next year.
I've checked the map with them to discuss the hiking route, and found some names on the map are quite interesting... for example:
1. what the word stem "thwaite" means?
I saw names of places like Stonethwaite Bridge, Esthwaite Water, and Bassenthwaite Lake.
It got my attention with "th" after Stone/ Es/ Bassen... a bit difficult to pronounce it properly...
Am just curious that whether put "thwaite" in the end of a word has any specific meaning?
(Like Loch Ness in highland, Loch itself means a lake, in Gaelic language)
2.Similar questions as the first. does the "water" mean a lake?
for places like Ullswater, Hawes Water, Wast Water, and Derwent Water
Thank you for your kindly help.
oh and may I have your advice that in which month you would recommend people to visit Lake District?
We heard that it's easy to have rainy days there.

what does "donut" mean when using it to describe someone?
I saw people fighting on FB and one of them label people as a "donut".
It's obvious a bad word here ( no related to the bread "donut"),
I google it and find out it's a old term describing people from some places of US, who are thought to be bad, criminal, at lower class, or slaves.... quite a word with race discrimination.
Just wanna confirm is the info I found correct? wondering is there any other meaning to use this term on people?
Thanks
