Olympic Spirit Everywhere!

I must say we are a few days into the Olympics now and the fevered pitch here in China has not slowed down one bit! Even down in Shenzhen here (3 1/2 hours by plane from Beijing) the excitement is literally everywhere! If the games are going on it's shown on no less than 10 stations (only one of which maybe is in English) and the focus is on the Chinese teams for sure. Plus TV's are set up outside of many restaurants and people just stop by to watch for a few on their way.

It's very exciting to say the least. Thankfully the US men's basketball team beat China or honestly I would never have heard the end of it!

Cheers to Michael Phelps as well!
