As you know, the 2008 Summer Olympics will be held in Beijing and they are busy, busy preparing all the venues for the events as well as beautifying their city. The Olympics will be held in all new facilities of very unique designs and will include an all new apartment complex to house all the atheletes. The only problem we see, and every Olympic has the same problem, is transportation. Beijing is a growing city and the transportation system can't keep up. There is such a mixture of old and new, bicycles and BMW's, that there is no way to move everyone around. They have some new freeways, but many of the access roads are still slowed down by circle type intersections where it is every man for himself. You can't really read the names of the Olympic mascots, but if you pronounce their names in order, the phrase says "Welcome to Beijing".
