Almost four months ago, Pei Lin registered both of us for phase 1 of the ticketing process for the Beijing Olympics next summer. As a legal resident in China I was afforded the opportunity to register for tickets just like a Chinese citizen. Of course not everyone is created equal as the type of ID held had to be chosen. They ranged from a foreign passport to active military and all sorts in between. I didn’t hold out much hope of getting anything since the tickets were so oversubscribed and it didn’t matter how early you registered before the June 30 deadline.
Well, today I received an email saying I have confirmed my place at the Olympics! Three tickets to Badminton on Saturday morning, August 9, the second day of the games. Not exactly my sport of choice but nonetheless we have guaranteed tickets to at least one Olympic game. Pei Lin hasn’t received an email yet, but I am sure his Chinese passport will grant him tickets to an event or two.
Who wants our third ticket??
lol several of the comments many people put up crack me up, oftentimes i contemplate whether they in reality read the article content and threads before placing a comment or whether or not they actually look at the post title and jot down the initial thought that pops into their heads. in either case, it is actually relaxing to browse through keen commentary occasionally compared to the identical, classic oppinion vomit which i generally , see on the internet i’m off to have fun with a few rounds of facebook poker have a pleasant day
