Beijing China Olympics

While every country participating in the Olympics have their own stories to follow, one of the biggest ones in the United States has been swimmer Michael Phelps.� Phelps has already won two gold medals in the early stages of the tournament.� He won one of the medals in an individual race and last night his relay team beat the favorite French team by one eight hundredth of a second.� The victory was a satisfying one for team USA because leading up the event, the French team had promised a victory over the USA team, and they said it would be an easy one.

Michael Phelps is currently on pace to break the all-time gold medal record for a single Olympics.� If he wins every event he�s scheduled to be in he would have nine, beating Mark Spitz�s 36 year record.� Spitz, also a swimmer, is also tied with Carl Lewis for the most Gold Medals of all time, with eight.� If (it�s more like when) Phelps wins his next gold medal, he will be number one all time, as he has already won 8 between this year and last year�s Olympics.� Phelps next chance to do this will be Tuesday in an individual competition.

Also last night the USA Woman�s gymnastics team advanced to the medal stage, second behind the host country team, China.� China finished the preliminary round in first place, but in the medal round, the initial scores are wiped out and you start from scratch.� What China does get out of finishing first is the ability to watch American participate in their events first.� This way, China will no exactly what they will have to do to win the events.

Overall, China is expected to win the most medals in this years Olympics games.� They have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and their over 600 athletes appear to be destined for the Gold Medal title.� Already they have a lead over America in the number of medals, and in just Gold Medals they have a commanding lead.

The action continues nearly all day on NBC and their sister stations.��

Beijing

An Italian traveller once told me that people fall in love with a country on the basis of 3 things; the air, the food and the people. For me, I first fell in love with the Chinese signage in Beijing! Especially the huge ones with neon lights (I loved it!). Then it was the food. Especially Peking duck! For the record, I’ve never like duck dishes, wouldn’t even eat ‘em if I’m paid to. But Peking duck was DELICIOUS! Then it was all the good looking men in Beijing! So tall, well build with good looking features. Wow, I wouldn’t mind living in Beijing (at all!)! Hahaha..

From Tianjin Binhai International Airport, we took a shuttle bus to Beijing. That took us approximately 2 hours. But for those in a rush, you can also opt for the bullet train which would only take 30 minutes.

Visit Beijing pic

After a fabulous celebration of the Olympic Games in 2008, Beijing, or Beijing, has become one of the most exotic tourist destinations and exciting. There are thousands of reasons why a visit, but we do a little effort, we tried to summarize in five all those reasons. We can only find a good flight search flights, and headed to Beijing.

1 .- Historical sites

The city of Beijing, like the rest of the country, has a rich history and vibrant. There are plenty of historic sites that will show you interesting memories. Beijing was the capital of four dynasties. The most important historical sites in Beijing are the Imperial College, Prince Gong’s Mansion, the walls of the Yuan Dynasty and the relics of Yinshan Pagoda. These places are unique and are you going to find them, as well as wonderful examples of architecture, the perfect legacy of Chinese history.
