Xiao Kui Posted July 11, 2006 at 11:53 AM Report Posted July 11, 2006 at 11:53 AM Too bad these words don't come up too often in [POP=wei2 qi2 Go, black and white board game that looks like Othello]围棋[/POP] or ballroom dancing. Otherwise you could easily learn them from listening to the play by play on CCTV-5 Quote
