...reserve a seat (anywhere from 3 to 45 Euros and up). Most trains require a reservation, and it has to be done at a train station, not online. The timetable that comes with the pass isn’t very useful either –the train station agent had to explain to me that she only had two itineraries for the day I planned to travel (I think she thought I was being very demanding for not wanting to arrive in a strange city at 4 a.m.).

...People are scared, they aren't buying the big stuff," says Pat Hiban, a real estate agent at Keller Williams in Howard County's Ellicott City. "The sweet spot is in the low range."

...After seeing their hero return from injury so many times before, few in China seem ready to declare him finished. Eric Zhang, Yao's agent, told the China Daily that it was premature to call an end to the center's career, and many fans agree. "I think whether he can make a comeback depends on his own attitude," says Ma, during a break from a pickup game in Beijing. "There are plenty of basketball players who managed to do that after major injuries. I don't see why Yao Ming should be an exception...
