    They are going to love the Taiwan night markets!

    The food is amazing, BBQ snake (tastes like fish), deep fried frog (tastes like chicken), BBQ squid on a stick, roast duck & my favourite for breakfast Robogao (蘿蔔糕 Robo Gow or Lo Back Gou).

    The people are friendly, the county beautiful and an overall experience that will last a lifetime...even for multi-millionaires!

    That is where I was first introduced to Lin as a basketball player when he was with the warriors. I was looking for a Yao jersey, Rockets gear & the Chinese national team jersey and came across a ton of Lin warrior jerseys. My mate almost begged me to grab one, saying the whole nation loved this kid & was so proud of his achievements - firstly paying his way through school (Harvard none that less!) then making the NBA. The fact that he was a full on Christian was also great. ( I was there on a missionary trip )

    He was a national treasure! I looked him up on YouTube & liked what I saw, but still couldn't buy a Warriors jersey, I wouldn't wear it. I told the guys that I'd keep an eye on Lin for them, then when I got home he ended up on our roster!

    The rest is history, I can't wait until he helps lead us to back to back to back championships!

    Watermelons are not racist. They are delicious and fun. Taiwanese people love watermelons.

    South Chinese food ain't that much different than soul food, or Cajun food for that matter. Chicken feet, duck feet. And then everything else is seafood. Lotsa spicy goodness. There's a whole class of dishes called zhou, not quite rice not quite soup...basically it's etouffee.

    My secret business model (don't steal it guys!!!) is to open up a chain of Cajun food shacks in China. Just hire a willing family from Louisiana to go overseas for a bit and set the menu up, and BOOM. Like a virus it'll spread...

    I think the word you're looking for is Porridge.

    Personally for me, the whole street/market food awesomeness is at least 50% the atmosphere than the food. It's just not something you can really find in Houston. But you can find it in most residential neighborhoods in China.

    I can only think of Denver and the Clippers. The front lines of those two teams don't shoot a lot of jump shots. The guard play is critical for those teams in terms of getting their front line points.

    But what's important to note, is that if you have good guard play, you can make it work. And with the guards we have, and with hopefully great shooting at the 1-3 there's not really much reason we can't make it work.

    Wide angle lens at work.

    You are seeing serious distortion and enlargement of Dwights arm at the edges of wide angle lens. The center part of such lens are usually free of distortion but are reduced in size.

    So it's Beverly, not Lin, who is getting traded.

    Interesting.
