Does anybody in sacair, that is in the sac area speak chinese,from 2/2/08 to 2/16/08. We are hosting some foreign exchange students and we would like to bring them out to the games and play so they can see how americans do it. It would be nice if there was a translator out in the field,because at this time we do not know if the speak english or not.

Bringing foreign exchange students to a airsoft game is not that good of an idea unless they are airsoft fanatics. You are better of taking them to a good old fashion American BBQ or some kind of traditional American events like a parade in dowtown. One time a family of mine took a foreign exchange student from Japan to a Hometown Buffet to watch us Americans pig out. I bet that just freeked her out...

well.. depending on where this kid's from... Airsofting is quite a hit in Hong Kong and Taiwan, maybe even Shanghai... So I wouldn't be suprised if he want to come if he knew about it before...

costco exists in Taiwan so that wouldn't be a bewilderment for them. What they want to see is Iconic American companies like Harley Davidson store and the all great American mall. Last time my cousins came here they had only 1 wish and that's to visit every major mall and visit a Harley Davidson dealership. They dropped $10,000 on HD gear alone.
