Preparing for the Olympics

I just thought I would share this interesting little article with you. A friend of mine had it posted on her gmail chat. It gave me a good chuckle- perhaps it will give you one too. http://www.shanghaidaily.com/sp/article/2008/200806/20080605/article_362084_1.htm

As for the Silk Road and postings to come- I have sadly been without lovable little lappy (more appropriately-Satan's Laptop) for the better part of two weeks. But alas, there is hope on the horizon- and with a new hardrive being installed next week- I should have it back in working order soon. So stay tuned....

So Li Ning is clearly a serious sports enthusiast. This is just proof that some things aren't going to translate well for China this summer...

My favorite line from the article -"Cheers can be mixed and matched to suit the different competitions, said Li Ning, president of the Beijing Etiquette College and also one of the designers of the chants (and apparently cheering genius of the world).

For example, the chant can be changed to "Brazil, go, go." Brazil can be replaced with any country competing, Li added.
