Olympic fever

Ni hoa!! Beijing was GREAT! It lasted about a week. We visited the great wall, the forbidden city and Tian na men square. All of which were AWESOME! Then, it was OLYMPIC FEVER!! and let me tell you, we were infected! All three of us meese were in full fledged canadian outfits which led to a papparazzi photoshoot that would outdue Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's mysterious affair with a texan midget and his seven foot bearded wife. Can you just picture Justin in his clown mask making faces to the sea of Asians?!?! We then headed to a man made lake surrounded by bars and joined the hundreds of people dancing in the courtyard. We grabbed a bite to eat and played a chinese version of hacky sack for hours on end. Also, at another bar strip we met the middle eastern guy from 'This hour has 22 mins'.He was there filming skits and we were the only ones to recognize him. We ended up buying tickets for the track and field finals from a scalper(dont ask how much!)where we were the rowdiest group in the whole birds nest. We truly dont know how CBC missed us. Thanks for nothing Ron! Beijing Beijing wor ai Beijing!! To give an idea of how big Beijing is, we watched the closing ceremonies fireworks on tv, and only heard them once it was done being aired. It sounded like the city was under attack!
We just arrived at my cousins Kendra's place in Shanghai where we plan to stay with her and her GORGEOUS roomates for a couple nights till we figure out our plan of attack for Shanghai.
Peace!

Hey guys; what a great adventure, sounds like Bejing was a blast. CBC missed a good shot. Hope Shanghai is as rewarding as your previous destinations.Keep in touch Mike and have fun.
