With the nightly news broadcasting protests along the route of the Olympic torch, it’s easy to forget the monumental effort being put into this year’s Beijing Games. I was living in Sydney when we pipped China to the post for the 2000 Games - Juan Antonio Samaranch’s announcement made Sydney a three syllable word.
China has waited patiently for these Games - and now is a time to celebrate all the country has achieved. Every host country has issues and the Games can be a chance to deepen the dialogue.
Until then - watch in awe as China prepares for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. My son is adopted from China. I can’t wait to show him this clip tonight!

Okay - now I feel foolish! The YouTube post was called 2008 Olympics and the Communist setting immediately made me assume China. But folks - this is North Korea! Sorry for the error!
