Protesting the Olympics?
It is evident that there is a lot of opposition to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Every time I turn on the news, you see demonstrators protesting about China's terrible human rights record and Tibet. This protesting has been so widespread, everyone knows about it. I never heard about people protesting this wildly about the Olympics until the Beijing one popped up. Maybe China should take the protesters seriously and think about whether they want to host the Olympics or not...however I think it's too late to change minds...
I don't support Beijing 2008, but I'm not protesting about it. I think China shouldn't have decided to host the Olympics, they should focus on the numerous problems they have to fix.

Hi
I am a publisher of THE EAST; the only English newspaper, which is mainly focused on the East Asian information (at the beginning of every month, more than 12,000 free copies are distributed throughout the London area, particularly, where East Asian Networks are established).
I looked at your blog the other day and have been wondering if there would be any chance that we could publish some of your interesting articles on the paper.
We think some of your blog articles should be very helpful to the Westners who are interested in Asian Culture.
The East cannot afford to pay for your articles right now (as we are non-profitable organisation). However, if you wish, we can still offer you:
1. Advertising space
2. Link to THE EAST web site blog section
We look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Many thanks and kind regards,

how are you dude?
I went to the torch relay in Nagano city, and was really surprised by the range of emotions and problems brought up by it. I think saying that China should re-think its decision to hold the Olympics is too simple, but I'm very glad that both sides -- both the protesters and the supporters -- are being forced to look more carefully at the other side of the story. Thanks for writing about this issue!
