Have you heard.....The Olympics are in town. Indeed! In case you're curious if it's crazy here, no. In case you're curious if it's different around town, obviously yes. The biggest difference I've noticed is the presence of white people......and guess what, they ALL speak English, YAY! Other difference are sort of obvious, things like banners, lots and lots of police men lining the streets, etc.
ALSO in the event you were wondering if I am going to the Olympics, clearly the answer is YES. I made friends with someone who works at the embassy and he forwarded me a legitimate website selling seats to all events, so I picked some up :) And what will I be seeing you may ask??? None other than the MEN'S SPEED WALKING FINALS!! Oh and the decathlon which entails pole vault, hurtles, discus and something else very odd.
Oh wow.... happy go lucky Chinese people with Olympic pride.
