Wushu demonstration event in Beijing for the Beijing Olympics

This year over a half a million people filled Victoria Park. Participants from around the world created fantastical floral worlds. The spectacular event was accented with drawing, dancing, music and photography   more...competitions. The best part of all is the reward at the end. All of the healthy plants are given to local agencies to keep the beauty alive all year long.  less

Much as I love China and the Chinese people, I can never come to terms with the constant spitting so prevalent in this country. I wrote this little song on my recent trip to Guizhou province.

Lyrics:

...Please   more...don't spit.
...Please don't spit.
...It's not very nice to see.
...Please don't spit.
...Please don't spit.
...Please don't spit near me.

Standing on a Chinese station,
All I hear is expectoration,
Not a very appetizing sound.
While I'm waiting for my train
Gobs of mucus fall like rain,
Making a mucky mine-field of the ground.
Whenever I go out for a walk
People clear their throats and hawk,
Spitting, spitting, spitting all around.

Spitting on the train,
Spitting on the bus,
On the restaurant floor
In front of us.
Spitting, spitting
Spitting everywhere
A sudden gust of wind
Can blow it in your hair.

...Please don't spit on me.

Beijing's streets are just as spitty
As any other Chinese city.
Efforts to keep them clean have come to nought.
Olympics are coming in '08,
So now if you expectorate
You'll be fined a lot of money - if you're caught.
But habits are hard to change you know.
So why not just go with the flow
And make spitting a new Olympic sport?  less

With all the weird sports at the olympics you wonder whay these were rejected well.....You know what I mean

The "Stick, Stick, Stick" campaign is an old one, but a good one. It's worth revisiting. Check out Usain in some of the spots; he was only 16 at the time. Classic!

It's quite remarkable that a country of 3 million people consistently produces the fastest athletes in the world. Usain Bolt's record-setting performances in the 100m and 200m were complemented by a Jamaican   more...sweep in the women's 100m. And we still have the relays to go! There are several reasons Jamaicans are fast. Here's one: track & field is THE sport in Jamaica.

Can you beat the world's fastest man? Until now, you never would have had the chance to find out (unless your name was Asafa or Tyson). But Usain is challenging YOU to a race, 100 meters in Jamaica's   more...National Stadium. Pay attention in the video...the first time Usain played the game he ran 9.72. Pretty ironic, no? I guess we programmed it to perfectly reflect his ability. (Then again, I ran 9.54...) Visit http://www.pumarunning.com/#EN/runnin... to race Bolt.  less
