Ussoccer.com got a cool email from an American guy working in the Pearce Corps in China. He said that there were a bunch of Americans working in Chengdu and that they’d do their best to come out and support the team. The U.S. cheering section grows! With China so close to North Korea, we’re gonna need every voice and painted face we can get.

I’m sure for those PCV’s having the world cup come to town is a real treat. When I was serving as a PCV it was always rumored that China was the most difficult country of service: due to a combination of difficulties in learning their language, a culture that is not particularly open to integration of foreigners, and substantial government oversight and limitation of every aspect of service from where volunteers can be posted, to what they can do, and even to how they live. If you guys have some free time you should see if you can hang out with some of them. They would give you a real insight into china and the Chinese people, and like I said just having you guys in town would be a treat for them.
