Tomorrow's the BIG Day

Most everyone knows tomorrow is the BIG day we have been waiting for a long time in Beijing. At 8:00pm on August 8th in the year 2008.... oh and not to mention August is the 8th month. Is there something suspicious about the number 8? Yeah, Chinese love numbers and feel different numbers mean different things. So the number eight means good luck and wealth. The Olympics must be a success... right?

Here is a pic from my apartment looking toward the Olympics area. Tomorrow night the sky will be lit up with fireworks. It will be one of the best parties on earth. No doubt about that. Just fun to be here and experience it all.

Patrick,
Appreciate your post! I would enjoy more pictures and a birds eye view of what is going on in the next days! Yes, I can imagine it is quite exciting around there. My eyes will be glued to the TV tonight watching the opening events!
