200 day countdown to the Olympic Games sees introduction of new souvenirs - The Official Website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games: "Chinese seals, longevity locks, red lanterns, Chinese knots…over 70 Olympic articles were promoted by BOCOG to represent the Games within the Chinese context."
This website is information rich and very interesting. Well organised, easy to navigate and jam packed with information to get you in the right mood for the Beijing Olympics. It keeps you up to date with Olympic and sporting news and includes its own lovely Chinese flavour. A great site. You can even learn a French, English or Chinese expression a day with the cute little Fuwa who are the mascots of the game. There are sound recordings to go with the expressions so you don't have to give these foreign sounds your best guess! The games at the beginning of August and in the meantime we have the Tour Down Under, the tennis and the cricket to keep us busy and then we'll swing into footie season and prepare ourselves for the games.
