Could anyone recommend some good Chinese jazz artists?

As for Braille, the term I learned while working with blind children in 宁夏 (Ning2xia4) was "盲文 (mang2wen2)"

I love the olympics site, but as far as I can see, it doesn't show up in Firefox (v 3.0.1). I can see the banner and the background, but the flash content won't load. Does anyone else have this problem?

raychenon, "事情" is one of those often used Chinese words that perhaps sound a bit awkward when translated into English. I guess it's sort of like a "matter," "something to deal with" or  "something to attend to." Perhaps you've heard the question "你有事(情)吗?" ("are you busy?"), which quite literally means "do you have any business to do/anything that needs to be sorted out/pressing matters...?"

Does there exist a Chinese equivalent to the phrase "to chat someone up"?
