The city is buzzing right now with Olympic fervor. More on that later.
My language tutor is an Olympic volunteer, and he gave me a ticket to watch the opening ceremonies in the Peking University auditorium with all the other volunteers. In my estimation it's the next best thing to being at the Bird's Nest... if the crowds for the torch relay are any indication, this city is ready to get rolling. I imagine that these college students, many of whom have been putting tons of time into the games, will be a raucous crowd. Perfect.
The ceremony begins in about an hour (5AM California time). Needless to say, I've been busy, but I have posts in the works: Touristing, Great Wall Photos, the Summer Palace, Olympics (air quality), Chinese Friends, Dinner with American Friends and Life in General.
祝你奥运快乐！ Happy Olympics!
PS Also going to one of the biggest parties in the city afterwards. Huge rave in an old warehouse. Raves aren't normally my thing, but I'm stoked anyway.
