2008 Beijing Olympic Games (2008北京奥运)

We stopped by Beijing for a couple of days during the trip to Europe. It has been over 10 yrs since I visited Beijing last time. Great changes have taken place during the last decade and it is so good to see the changes. Beijing is now ready for the Olympic Games. The National Stadium (the Bird's Nest) looks pretty awesome. It will host the opening/closing ceremonies of the Olympics and will be the venue for all athletics. August 8th is coming soon and we pray for a successful 2008 Beijing Olympics Games!!!

Trip to Europe (欧洲之行)

We made a long trip to Europe this July and visited five schengen countries. Europe is very far from Japan and it took us about 12 hrs to get there by air. France is the first schengen country we entered. We did the Paris sightseeing and then joined a local tour arranged by a Chinese travel agency called MANDARIN VOYAGES. The trip was a very good one with nice services - only cost 248 Euro per one person! Of all these five schengen countries, we had a better impression on Germany - a very sophisticated country just like Japan.We were shocked by the high prices in Paris. Everything including eating, living and shopping is huge expensive.

七月我们度假去了一趟欧洲. 对欧洲总体印象不错. 我们先到巴黎呆了两天然后参加了荷比卢德法四日风情之旅. 参观了以下城市- 布鲁塞尔 － 海牙 － 阿姆斯特丹 － 科隆 － 波恩 － 特里尔 － 卢森堡.
