Today I visited the main 2008 Olympic site after class. The Olympics are less than a year away and the location is a huge construction yard. Today I wish I had a mask because I had to walk along a main highway in order to get there. I could feel the dirt and pollution in my throat today.
I got a glimpse of the National Stadium and National Aquatics Center under construction. There wasn’t too much to see since a fence blocked the view. I wanted to visit now so I could compare later on with what I see on TV or a later visit.
Later, the son, Harry said lets see the family’s new car. They bought a brand new 2008 model I think. It is a black Chrysler 300C with a 2.7L V6 engine. The same US model has a 5.7L V8 because Americans need to use up more gas. The car is assembled right here in Beijing, China. I did notice at least one USA part though!
