I have been faithfully watching the Today Show on my TV every morning and I kept wondering why there were not thousands of people jamming the outside crowds. I figured maybe the Beijing authorities were limiting who attended the crowd, but after receiving this link from one of my Chinese friends………..

I loved the part where they taught the Chinese workers how to cheer. Remember China is trying very very hard to put forth a great impression – but it still reminds me a little of the Dean Barone days which some of us more mature Glynn Middle teachers will remember.
China is neat enough with out all the forced advertising. Come and visit – China Spree has a great 12 day one that actually visits Hangzhou and it is cheaper than most round trip air flights http://www.chinaspree.com/ For my Georgia friends – there is a direct flight from Atlanta to Shanghai. I got a round trip ticket for Zac (he is coming Oct 10th!!!!!) for less than 900 dollars
