The following is from Bruce:The era of American sporting dominance is over. The sports world- and maybe more - will soon belong to China. If you had any doubt,it was seen at these Olympics in the fervor for sponsor protection that extended everywhere,even to the bathrooms.On every toilet and every urinal, a piece if silver-grey tap covered the name of the manufacture.underneath,it read : American Standard.

The following is from Mark:The Olympic experience quickly teaches you that the worst time to really get to know a city is when it is hosting the Games.Because that is when its trying desperately to be anything but itself.
