On the account of our upcoming trip to China, I bring you this sports update (Via Imagethief)

Today's Bank of China box score:

• My place in the lineup: 297


• Batting when I went on deck: 204


• Time on deck: 75 minutes


• Time at the plate: 45 minutes


• Total game time: 2 hours


• Autographs signed: 10


• Transactions swung at: US dollars to reminbi (ed note: another name for yuan)conversion, renminbi withdrawal, US dollar to Singapore dollar conversion, wire transfer to Singapore


• Record: Four for four!


• Errors: One (wrote out figure in words when numerals were requested)


• Total receipts given to me at the end of the transaction: Eleven


• New vocabulary added:剩余 (sheng4yu2 -- "balance remaining")


• Teller courtesy level: Suspiciously good. No curveballs pitched.

All in all, pretty good as these things go. A marathon game, but it's rare that I have no strikeouts.
