080808

08-08-08. 很美的日期吧. Coincidentally, it is also the 8th day of the month in the Chinese Lunar calendar (but on the 7th month instead - Hungry Ghost month!!). What is so special about this day? 是對中國很重要的日子 - 奧運在北京!!! Yup, it's the Olympics!!! 雖然不是中國人, 但也覺得很驕傲, 因為全世界都會注意到我們華人的力量. 再這八年裡, 北京已經變了好多. 想到四年前, 跟爸媽走在Olympic Park的時候, 很少人, maintenance也很差, 一點都不迷人, 只是很普通的地方 (但也完的很開心). 如果現在回去那裡, 一定認不出路了吧.

China Ethnic Culture Park at Olympic Park

Beijing Opera!! Front seats wei! With full course dinner somemore!
Great Wall!! Definitely the best sight-seeing Ping have ever experienced!

Hmm...家人和亞洲的朋友們一定很期待今晚奧運的開場吧. Me too!! Guess everyone would be stuck in front of the TV in a few hours. Unfortunately, no live telecast here for Ping. 但也沒關係了, not like I can watch it if it is live anyway...12 hours difference --> Ping will be preparing to start another oxygen measurement at about that time (8:08pm, Beijing time). But, NBC will be broadcasting it at 7.30pm tonight...所以, 要趕快做完experiment然後可以回家看!! 不懂杰倫有沒有備選上來唱奧運歌. 如購有的話, 我今晚一定非常的開心!!!

Aiiii, 看這麼多北京的照片, 好想念哦!!! 爸媽也應該很想念那邊的生活吧. 不隻到什麼時候才有機會回到那邊. Hopefully one day Ping get to go back there and walk the streets of Wang Fu Jing (王府井) , Liu Li Qiao (六里橋) and all the great places of Beijing.
