A forgotten post - Olympic Torch Relay in Hangzhou

Well, this post should be dated back during the days in Hangzhou. The post was kinda forgotten by all of us despite it being an eventful day for the people of China and us.

The Hangzhou Torch Relay on 18 May (Olympics):

Can't remember exactly what time we woke up but it was quite early. Blazing hot sun and packed crowds along the streets in Hangzhou. We managed to buy four flags (two bearing the 2008 Beijing Olympic logos and two national flags of China) and some stickers before the relay.

This is Jackie, showcasing his total commitment for this event



Stuart, not losing to anyone else


Three of em except me, trying to get a short glimpse of the torch


Hangzhou residents, proceeding on what others may think twice before engaging



Finally, Team George I Go, after the torch went pass

Outdoor Mahjong up in the mountains with many local old folks.. we were only young participants.. It was almost full house! Different games avail.. chinese chess, wei qi and mahjong. A different feel to the usual game as we enjoyed the forest breeze, chirping birds and lively atmosphere!

That's Benny and Jackie finding a way to break my Gor Tai.. to no avail.




And then Marco also tried.. actually i was forced to play by the other 2 Ang Mo Kio Secs and Mr Poh.. Coz not really in the mood after too much viwawa.



Our drinks. Fresh hot free flow chrysanthemum. Good stuff..



PONG PONG PONG!!!! PONG PING PIANG! PONG PONG MASTA!
