What amazes me is that the sky is blue and the air is clear….nothing like Bejing. I also read a blog from Bejing resident saying he or friends had never heard of it or seen it. I don’t believe it is in that very poluted city. Anyone know where the Olympic Garden is?

Instead of spending hugh amount of money to decorate the capital, the government should spend more money on the great green wall which was standing between Inner Mongolian autonomous region and the capital. The desert is growing, and it would cover the beautiful garden with sand in the future.

What about the rest of the 18 million Beijingers who get to enjoy the benefits that the Olympics brings (including this garden)?

Apparently one of the symptoms of the “China-bashing syndrom” is brain damage.

JK,

20 years later, are you still wining and nagging the same thing over and over again?

Being critical = Being annoying in Chinese language.

30,000 families relocating their homes are still luckier than those who need to send their kids to the war in thousands miles away.

My bad, Kennedy.

In all this excitement, I almost overlooked that jab you put on the bottom about the 30,000 displace families.

Damn! What a killjoy. Can’t pass up an opportunity to be critic, can you? Chinky bashing is so much in fashion right now, how can you not jump in, right?

For a second, I thought you posted something positive about China. But still, where can I get them tickets?

P.S. Fingers still firmly attached. Maybe tomorrow.

Hey Kennedy,

Where can I get tickets for this sucker? The sh*t they can do with garden sculptures is incredible. How the heck did they make them dolphins jump out the water like that?

I’m impressed by how much one can see behind some simple photos.
