Monopoly Anyone?

Last night my boys - the two I gave birth to and the one I married - did one of their favorite things together. They played monopoly. Now, I know you are saying "Why the heck are you telling me this? Who cares?" It was not just any Monopoly game, it was the Chinese version that Mike brought home with him last weekend. The directions and cards, everything, are printed in Chinese, so out came the regular game board, set up next to the new one. At least numbers are the same in both languages. The dice are TINY, maybe a centimeter square. The pieces are just colored pieces, like the ones in the SORRY game - only smaller. But other than that, the game seems to be just the same. Steve takes Chinese language class 4th quarter in school, so maybe this game will become a show and tell item later. I know who Steve's Chinese tutor will be - not me!!
