China has held a rehearsal of the Olympics opening ceremony in the main venue for the Games, the 'Bird's Nest' stadium. (See: http//news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7510794.stm )
Look forward to seeing the 'opening ceremony' on 8th August on Tv and I am pretty sure it would be spectacular ! |

What do you think about MONKEY?
Quite interesting and amusing to read so many BBC viewers' comments (over 100) vide: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/olympics/2008/07/what_do_you_think_about_mo nkey.html
As a fan of Monkey King ('Sungwu Kong' in Chinese), I am extremely pleased to read most of the positive comments therein. How about posting your comments in this forum? |

Saw this amusing video about Liu Wenli (on BBC Sport: Olympics), a Beijing Policeman who is learning 15 languages to prepare for meeting foreign tourists during the Olympic Games and thought it might be of interest to readers in this Forum. Log onto:

My comment about the Olympics on the BBC:-
http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/goToMessage.jspa?messageID=5098604&edi tion=2&ttl=20080807130221
This Olympics is a great moment for China to celebrate a mile stone in their achivements.
A nation capable of conquering opium addiction forced on by Britain demonstrates resilience of Chinese Civilisation. It explains why it is the longest continuous civilisation.
If we in Britain can conquer the social problems - the disrespect, the violence, the family breakdowns, the vandalism, the prison population, the addictions, the self harm, the loneliness; then 2012 will be worthwhile to celebrate. |

Just fabulous and my congratulations to the Chinese film director, Yang Yimou, who is the Artistic Director for this opening ceremony. I salute you Mr. Yang Yimou.

Correction:
The Chinese film director's name is ZHANG Yimou and not YANG Yimou. |
