Hello everyone,

I can’t believe I only have three more days here. I am running out of time to shop for souvenirs and pack them with my winter clothes and mail them by sea.

Yesterday almost the entire town shut down to watch and celebrate the Olympic Torch coming through town. I did not see it but I saw lots of people holding China national and Olympic flags, and shouting in support of China and the Olympics. The last few photos in this link were taken the night before, 10 June. They show the town’s people excitement in anticipation of the Torch’s arrival.

All the best,
Belinda
