Olympic Enthusiasm
In the last post, I passingly mentioned the excitement in Beijing over the Olympics in August. Well, it is literally everywhere in Beijing. My friend, Grace, took these pictures of this little boy with the symbol shaved into his hair. The only reason I have learned the Chinese word for "zero" ("ling") is because it is the middle two numbers of 2008, the Beijing Olympic year. I had been walking around town with the Beijing Olympic year resounding in my head from all the commercials that I don't understand -- "er-ling-ling-ba, er-ling-ling-ba, er-ling-ling-ba".

Yeah, i m the first one to give comments!
Chinese are really enthusiastic about holding Olympic. We really wanna show world the real China, like hospitality,Chinese culture, chinese food, and spitting thing.i believe China in many foreiners' eyes are still in 80's before they come to China. Actually China developed really fast in last 20 years.
Sven, have a good time in China.

PS Eat some Pocky and sing to S.H.E. for me. My VCD of 'Superstar' doesn't work quite so well anymore... probably because I've rocked out to it one too many times. Wo ai ni, Zhongguo.
