In the evening of 8 August the American Chamber organized a party for the Olympic countdown in the Crowne Plaza Park View Wuzhou Beijing.

The large crowd was able to follow the countdown on a big screen. There was a raffle to give away Olympic souvenirs as well as promotional stays in Las Vegas. As usual, Gilbert was out of luck… but anyway was the only participant in a genuine 2008 Olympic shirt anyway!
Worse, I walked away with some of the Olympic posters and … forgot them in the taxi 🙁
I guess I had too much of the Pinot Noir distributed by ASC…
