I just have a feeling that it's not going to be so good. I just want to go and see for myself what is happening but will stay out of the way as knowing my luck I will end up in the middle of it somehow, if not careful....Lilly's Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-56530569003325978382008-04-20T18:51:00.000+10:002008-04-20T18:51:00.000+10:00Wow, all I can think of is what a shame that something as unifying as the Olympics has always been in the past has deteriorated to this. Protesting goes against the very Olympic ideal, to bring together nations to compete in sports, and garner closeness and familiarity among the athletes. <BR/><BR/> Such a shame that people choose this venue to protest political agendas. Then again, the International Olympic Committee knew about China's record when they decided to award the games to Beijing. <BR/><BR/> Do let us know how it goes on Thursday, and don't get too close. Be safe, because you just never know how these things might turn out.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00994185648078518634noreply@blogger.com
