Hu Plays Basketball

Everything is Olympics in China these days. Everywhere I turn there are Olympic signs, logos, events, TV and news - even in Shanghai. This is not surprising since this is the first time that China has hosted the Olympics, but by the time this is over, I'll be ready. The newspapers are filled with wonderful news about all aspects of the Olympics, or auyunhui as the Chinese call it. Last week we were even treated to photos of China's starched leaders showing off their skills in various sports. Here, we see President Hu not exactly slamdunking a basketball.
