One World One Dream: Beijing 2008

Aug 19, 2008 17:58



the eyes of the world fix on china as the XXIX Olympic games take place in Beijing. This city, also my hometown, was bursting to the seams with excitement, while the rest of the world looked on china's rise with understandable ambivalence, china celebrated their coming out party and the international spirit of sportsmanship in style.



the stage is set















there was 1 olympic volunteer for every foriegn visitor at the games, mostly college students on summer vacation



































beijing welcomes you





























































know to the detractors as the pollution, draconian security and tacky commercialism games

























2008 beijing internationl art biennile

































pride and prejudice





























faster stronger higher



































































































one world one dream





























i saw a lot of these 'i heart beijing' shirts... if only they thought of the other meaning of bj...















cheers from beijing



olympics, china, beijing olympics, beijing
