| Ciao I'll be in Beijing for all the Olympics and I'll stay to friend's house. I wished to come since 4 years ago when Beijing got the Olympics. I've even applied as volunteer but of course I didn't get it. Finally I decided to gone by myself but then I had to negotiate with collegues to get 3 weeks holiday since in Italy August is peak season: they have been quite nice to me. On August 8 2007 I went to work (quite formal banking enviroment) wearing my Olympic t-shirt complete with 4 Fuwa pins and a red tie, so I must say that collegues were pretty aware of my wish. Unfortunately I don't have tickets at all: they have been sold out in Italy long ago. My friends told me that last week in Beijing about 100.000 beijing people were queing since 72 hours to get tickets of the 4th phase...I don't mind if I cannot see competition. I'll see Beijing again after 3 years I'll see the new Beijing and strolling around I'll absorb enthusiasm from people (but I do feel pretty enthusiastic too). I'm quite happy just to be there,to see this city and this country. Good luck Beijing |
