March 24, 2008 at 3:36 AMOk, well get yall a basketball lesson, it may be down the road though. We do have an advanced one on the NBA here, but I agree that we could use one on actually playing in say, a pick up game. Its a great way to socialized with the locals actually. Texastochina, Funny thing about our Houston Rockets, many people (at least in Shanghai) know who Hakeem Olajuwon is 哈基姆.奥拉朱旺 (hājīmǔ àolāzhūwàng). I almost fell over when I had a conversation with a taxi driver about him being the "Yao Ming" of the rockets before Yao was there. it was hilarious.

March 25, 2008 at 4:16 AMThis lesson is supposed to be exempt of vocab (and therefore the fix), as there was no actual article that the lesson was based on. Yet, this has proved confusing, so connie is creating a vocab list to be put up shortly.
