This is what I'll be doing the next two weeks. The Olympics opened to grand pageantry last night. The technology used to display China's cultural history was pretty amazing. Still, I'm not as excited about these Olympics as I have been about Games in the past. China is a polarizing nation, and though the Games shouldn't be politicized, I'm disappointed with China's reneging on several key promises that were a requirement for their win of the Olympic bid. These key issues are improving the environment, political/religious freedoms, and opening up the media.
