Ah, this post makes me long to go back there. I've only watched a little of the Olympics so far. Whenever I see the audience I feel jealous that they are there right now. Beijing is the place to be. Did you see the opening ceremony, Kit? THere's no way London is gonna beat that, come 2012 :S
Whoo! I am totally jealous of them too. Particularly when you see into the stands that not all of the seats are filled. :o I keep thinking, "Jim and I could be there right NOW!" Beijing is so incredible, definitely. I feel it was a really wonderful place to end our trip together. (Only part of the journey.) Now that the Olympics are being broadcast, our networks here are showing a lot of cool little documentaries about the city as well. I've watched a few, and learned a lot.
The opening ceremony was AMAZING. Parts of it reminded me of the opera we saw in Yangshuo, do you remember? SO MANY performers! I wanted to link to some of it, but, ah, copyright. :( We recorded most of it, though. :p

I wonder if it will come out on DVD.
