Our first Day in Beijing was spent in the 2008 Beijing Olympics center! My first conversation in Chinese with a native was asking the security guard whether or not we could swim in the Water Cube. He said we could swim for 50 yuan an hour. (only $7.80!) I don't think I've ever felt like more of a celebrity than during the first day in Beijing. People were constantly taking pictures of us Americans everywhere we went. Often times people would follow me around for 5 to 10 minutes just video taping me walking around.
