China is moving as quickly,
as possible, to get ready for the Olympics, which begins 8.8.08. They have implemented a driving system of odd and even every other week. Those with odd license
plates, drive one week, those with even drive the next. they are trying to reduce the terrible pollution which is clouding the skies above China. They were able to remove the strange abundance of algae, which appeared out of nowhere on the river where the boat races were to take place. Many of the Chinese people, are opening
their homes uo to tourists, for fifty to eighty dollars per night. Should be a spectacular event, hopefully some of the human rights issues will be resolved, as a result of some changes of minds and hearts, as a result of the coming together of so many countries. Iraq, which was banned, because of a disbanding of the original, Iraq Olympic committee, has now been allowed to send four althletes to the event, by agreeing to certain requests by the International Committee.
Be sure to take your face masks, if you are going to attend.
