Finished transcribing the show 食尚玩家

Whew... that was a slow and sometimes painful process. Hope it turns out to be a good investment. I plan to use the transcript in a personal iPhone app that I will building over the next few months.

Basically, I'm looking for a fun way to stay interested in learning Mandarin. For the last 5 years or so, my vocabulary has stayed somewhere around 300 or so characters.

I logged each character and character-combination (multiple characters that contextually form a word or phrase) and have just over 1,000.

My goal is to learn around 3,000. So, if I can learn all of the ones from this single show, I will be over 30% done.
