Work is winding down, so it's time to play!

Yesterday was good fun! I was at work and one of my friends, Amy (the Aussie) came up to me and offered Matt (another runner like me) and I tickets to go watch Canoeing and Kayaking. Gosh, I love obscure sports! We went to our boss and nicely asked if we could go. He knows how much we wanted to go so, of course, he said yes.

They offer a free shuttle bus just for the media to and from this venue. The venue is a hike away, it isn't even in Beijing, so we jumped on the opportunity to have a free ride out to the middle of nowhere, in this case called Shunyi. On our way there, our bus crashed full-speed into a little white car. This being a busload of photographers, everyone whipped out their fancy sports-lensed cameras and started snapping shots. I was truely amazed as to how fast 5 police cars, a SWAT team and 4 soldiers with machine guns showed up at the scene considering we were in the middle of the countryside. Click here for all the pictures. As you can see the bus came out pretty much unscathed, but the little car was destroyed and their peaches went everywhere!

Gotta run, more later.
