我不是中国人可是我是北京人.Beijing Olympics yeah!

The Beijing Olympics are kicking off today.  traffic is nuts, seurity is nuts, police and military on every corner.  but everyone is happy and excited.  on my street which I have lived on for a while, people come up to me with a great big smile and welcome me to beijing.  So while there is insanity around in the leadership, the People are Happy as can be and barely phased when they hear of silly people who climb up buildings with banners.

Protesters are kind of misguided and silly I'm sorry. while I don't agree with everything China does, the olympics is not the place to stage stunts like climbing up a pole to voice your feelings about tibet or something.   

      The fact is it's the olympics, an international event where we are supposed to forget our differences and just enjoy the sports of the world.  It's rude un educated and just wrong to protest at an Olympics event.    I heard they even have protester seminar video's, it's nuts.

this stuff has no place here.

It really doesn't matter what they are protesting, this isn't the time or place for it. 

Despite the idiots though I think it's going to be a great event.  You just sit back and look at what they have achieved,  and while I am not Chinese I am a Beijinger and I feel pride about whats happening in China.  Beijing is my home and how can I not feel happy about good stuff happening at my home?   我不是中国人可是我是北京人！ 北京奥运会成功！！

Beijing Olympics rock!
