奥运会！ (Olympics!)

On Sunday we went to a Spanish mass at Wangfujing, a popular shopping area for tourists and locals. The mass was started last week especially for spanish-speaking Olympics guests. It was fun! Afterwards we went to a small night-market at Wangfujing where they have many bargaining shops and strange foods, such as scorpion! Yum.

There are lots of news articles going around, but the bottom line is Friday at 8:08 PM, the Games will start! Everyone is arriving now.

I especially like these AP videos:
