Now here we are in 2008.. Beijing are hosting the games, watching the opening ceremony as I type this.

Interestingly there has been quite a lot of controversy around the Beijing Olympics.  With issues around pollution, security and human rights… I know that quite a few people are boycotting the games.

But for some reason this year I’m really quite interested in watching…

Bring it on!!
