    oh, forgot to ask one thing, does Paypal work? I tried many times to use it for the tipjar but never worked. Maybe because I'm in Shanghai? :confused:

    I want to become a contributing memeber!:D

    Sane, no word about the trade. Although plenty of debate on his BBS about it though. Lot's people seem to like Francis a lot and this Yangyi (the reporter friend of Yao) guy thinks it's a mistake. But no word from Yao himself.

    Also Yao says CD got struck by lightening twice (while playing golf), which ranked 2nd in Texas apparently. No.1 is a golf player who got struck 4 times. So when CD invited Yao for golf games he always declined, for one he is not interested, but also fearing to be used as a lighteing pole
    :D

    Paypal works, but you must have a credit card. I know they have master cards in shanghai, so it should work.

    How can he have been struck by lightening and not be seriously messed up I'd think he'd at least go to the hospital for a decent amount of time.

    There are actually certain people that attract lightning more than others, and I am one of those people also. I've never been struck, but I've already blown out my computer 3 times while a bright blue flash flew out of the screen at me, and then barely avoided getting struck while standing near a pine tree in my back yard. This has never happend to anybody else in my household. go figure :confused:

    wizkid, credit card is not the issue, they have Master and visa cards here. The problem is every time I tried to access Paypal, the web page just slows down tremendously and eventually grind to a halt.:confused:

    thanks for the feedback though.

    Yao friend think it's a mistake? Well it really tell us how stupid this Yangyi is when come to basketball. I hope he doesn;t go out and say stupid thing and write what Yao said before the trade to stir up some trouble. Yao should be careful of what he say around this guy.

    Have Yao ever mention this Yangyi guy is really one of his friend?
