Today I played basketball for a couple hours with the Germans who live in Cindy's building. It was a lot of fun, but I definitely felt like I was back in elementary school, in the sense that no one was very good, and there really wasn't any strategy/skill involved at all! The game basically consisted of running helter-skelter back and forth across the court, double-dribbling and travelling and all! That might sound kind of mean, but as Dylan put it (he watched them play last week), "They play basketball the way Americans play soccer. It's just not their sport."

And all the better for me to join them, since I really have no basketball skills either! Yay!
