Strangely, CTRP is now accepting paypal - which I think bodes as well for poor
EBAY as poor CTRP.

I love the company and its way of doing business but am not liking the stock and
while I laughed off the Olympics actually being a hindrance to it - not seeing
it that way at all - now I wonder if the Olympics actually are, except for BIDU
and SOHU, grinding down the quarter.

I'm sticking with BIDU and thinking about FXI again.

i would like to see china before all of its heritage is replaced by the
capitalists. all that smog only helps china with their population
control....someday we are going to have that problem, i wonder what....shall i
say, interesting ideas our government will come up with.

China travel. Why anyone wants to go see those Olympics is beyond me. Why not
just travel to Georgia, park yourself 2 miles from a paper mill? You get the
same air quality but it costs a lot less.
