Hey hey,
It's been a few days, but they've been a busy few. I've just stepped back into my room from a very long day of wandering Beijing, attending a few hours of the Paralympics and helping a new friend shop for an electronic dictionary.
I initially bought 5 tickets to the Olympics because my roommate and his friends from Germany said they wanted to go. Then, of course after I had purchased them, he told me that they had instead signed up for a tour of the city and wouldn't be using the tickets. So I was stuck with 250 yuan (about $40CAD) worth of tickets and no one to go with. So I called up a few random people I met last evening and they agreed to take 3 of the tickets (which I sold them for 30 yuan apiece; taking a hit of about 110 yuan on the whole shebang). So I attended for about 18 bucks versus the 7 normally, but it was all good. The Olympic facilities are simply stunning; the birds nest National Stadium and the Swimming 'Cube' in particular.
Anyhow, we're all going for dinner here. I'll elaborate more later.
Hope all is well! Miss you, hun.
Nathan

Cool! Yeah, I think we'll be watching the paralympic games a fair bit here. I got used to watching the olympics and enjoying it for the first time this time round.
