Me too. Besides, I have a (red) "Beijing 2008" cap with the 5-circle design on it -- and now it's out of date...?

You can bank on that. P.R.China is planning to shine bigtime in these Olympics.

I spent a week in Beijing 2-1/2 years ago and was amazed at the amount of construction going on there in preparation. Highrises going up everywhere.

As a guest of the Ministry of Construction I got the figures for the current 5 Year Plan; the amount of construction going on is simply unbelievable. Several years ago my industry was observing the retrofit of a million-square-foot federal building in San Francisco, but in the Chinese plan they're building the equivalent of 38,000 such buildings each year.

Aren't they working on the largest "dam" in the world right now? How appropriate!
