Mandarin Chinese Audio
The Flyers basketball schedule indicates there will be "audio" for all the games, as well as "Mandarin Chinese Audio."
Um, yeah, I'd like Wonton Soup and an Egg Roll with that, please.
Is this for real?

Yes! Lengthy Archdeacon article in today's DDN sports section about it. Graduate student boyfriend/girlfriend duo doing it along with two other two person teams. Appeals to the nearly 700 Chinese students at UD and back to the homeland fueled by the popularity of Yao Ming's emergence in the NBA back in 2002.

This is potentially the "real deal". UD has staked their claim with China for their "diversification" program. I am not as supportive of it as my daughter is in admissions for a top 35 program and claims there are many issues with the Chinese students language skills and assimilation. Could work for recruiting but UD needs to take a re look at that aspect of recruiting.

The Arch article was great! The kids interviewed sounded excited and despite some of the academic "problems" associated with some of these young Chinese students (assimilation, allegations of not being as "truthful" as they could be on occasion, etc.) I'm all for expanding into China and admitting there students "IF" they want to be here and earn there grades!
Lots of advantages both strategically/financially for the University as well this kind of an "added" benefit!

I can only see more pluses than minuses for doing our best to welcome them here. It will build bridges and more opportunities for the University and students on both sides of the pond.

Like with any group, "they" are all not alike. We had a girl from Shanghai, live with is for half her senior year in high school. She is now a junior at Virginia Tech and very much wants to assimilate into life in the US. She thought it was a lot of fun when her school's football team won a real big game early last season. I think it is real interesting that someone at VT talked her into doing a study abroad program in Germany this year.

As a student that has attended all but 1 of the home games while school has been in session the past two years, I recall only seeing Chinese kids in the student section with me about half the time. I can't imagine that most Chinese kids even care to listen to the broadcast or basketball in general until we reach March.
Just this past exhibition game, I was sitting in a seat and saw Dr. Dan sitting with some Chinese kids across the way. Him and the Chinese kids seemed to have an awkward thing going on as none of them seemed to be having a conversation with one another, at least the times that I looked to see what they were up to. Also, they seemed disinterested in the game as well.

google translates this as:
Who is also Germany; the line in all those who, way too; the treatment of people who do also; can be Geisha, technology also. Technology and in business,

Must be very deep haiku... I'm going to have to meditate on that one...
