CHINESE CHESS

I see a lot of old guys huddled around Chinese chessboards here. It reminds of Portsmouth Square in San Francisco's Chinatown. I used to go there for lunch sometimes during work, and the park was always packed with clusters of old Chinese men sitting around playing Chinese chess. I was always surprised at how much of a spectacle each game was, and now I see that it's the same way in China. Maybe I should try and learn while I'm here. I'm sure if I sat down to play I'd draw a big crowd just based on the fact that I'm not an old Chinese dude.
