Let the games begin



Check this out!!! The Olympians aren't the only ones that can stand in Tianamen Square in Beijing. Here we are barely a year before the Olympics and it was amazing how excited and proud the chinese were to be hosting the Olympics. They had this giant clock-like thing counting down the days until the start of the games. I know the Chinese government is atrocious, inhumane and unjust, but the people are wonderful and the suggestion of the US boycotting the games would have been a huge blow to the people. I'm glad to see they got their day.
