    Gonna be rough for OKC without Ibaka, but they do have the best player in the league.  I’m taking Spurs in 6, too, with two buzzer-beaters swinging either way.  And Miami in 6, with many close, low-scoring games.

    I concur.  I went there this past Saturday for the free checkup and 120 RMB teeth cleaning deal, and I was quite satisfied (despite my dreadful results).  The space is huge and deluxe, they have delicious free drinks, and the dental staff are very friendly, although only one could speak a little medical English when I was there.    They are also conveniently open on the weekends.

    I will be making a follow-up visit in the near future to get some fillings done; they run 200 RMB/tooth which, according to a local dentist friend of mine, is actually quite reasonable in China.

    Thumbs up!

    I believe the main guy’s name is 朱明.  I also went there the other day to fix a broken screen – 360 RMB.  I guess I will have to use you, Charlie, as reference to get it cheaper.

    I will be going back there next week to get a new battery for a Mac – they quoted 400-500 RMB, which is significantly cheaper than the US, that’s for sure.

    Good service, friendly people, easy to find.

    CSCBS is a first-rate bank with first-class staff.  Although I could only manage a 100 RMB deposit, they treated me like a part of their banking family.  I was able to secure a good rate and watch my wallet grow!  Now I can afford a boat, a conveyer belt from my living room to my kitchen, and gold-plated, jewel-encrusted chopsticks.  From the top down, this establishment is top-notch.  I give this place 5 stars!

    Those courts are nice…I’ll be there. I might be able to get one other person, too, but not guaranteed. Noon tomorrow?

    I haven’t skated in a while, but I bought a board since I’ve arrived to Chengdu and I’d like to see what abilities I’ve lost. I’ll come check out this place with you.

    Great forum. I’m new to Chengdu and also looking to play a decent game, but its been about a year since I’ve played on a regular basis. I went to the Nike courts once and they’re pretty nice (though my brand new phone was stolen out of my bag, so I would suggest leaving any valuables at home if you go there). I’ve also been to the Sichuan University Huaxi courts, but the rubber is torn up in a bunch of places. Anybody know the open hours for the Sichuan Gymnasium? Last time I went it was closed…
