linese.com??

I was watching the world cup final at my place with some friends and thought it was interesting to see that one of the ads for Budweiser beer was half in English and half in Chinese. Just gives you a better perspective of how many people were watching the game and the demographic makeup of those people!

Also today I guess China launched a website to teach Chinese for free! I'm going to have to check it out (seems to be a dead link right now) since I've been interested in learning Chinese ever since I got back. Seems like it would be a useful personal and business tool moving forward.

On a side note all my picks for the World cup lost. I picked France today and in earlier games I had picked Argentina and England in their respective knock out games. Ugh.
