Olympics

As 8.8.08 approached I eagerly awaited the start of the Olympic games. I was interested to see how China would do or more precisely what they would do. China has always been about image and making the nation look good. Well during the Opening Ceremonies Eric pointed something out that didn't look right. Lin Hao, the little boy who survived the earthquake at his school and then rescued his other classmates looked so cute standing next to Yao Min. But something was amiss. The China flag has the stars on the left top corner. But if you look at the picture Lin Hao's flag is upside down! It was like this the whole time! Apparently no Chinese worker noticed it but Eric did and once he pointed it out to me I couldn't take my eyes of it. China has put on a good show despite some mistakes (the upside down flag, the nine year old girl who lip synched, the fake fireworks, the underage gymnasts, the no show rower) but it has been and will remain a memorable seventeen days.
