Opening Ceremony

After spending 16 hours in the ferry from Korea to China, we took a bus at Weihai to Shanghai. It took another 15 hours, but we finally made it!
We will post pictures shortly, but right now we are going to see the opening ceremony at one of Shanghai biggest roads, where a huge screen will display live TV for the masses...
So far, there is much excitment, even in our guest house. TV shows live feed from Beijing, showing terrible haze and pollution :)
For those of you who thought we are actually going to Beijing - forget about it. Prices have not doubled, but went 6 times fold the normal price (these are the rumors here in Shanghai), not to mention the minor entry fee for the opening ceremony - 2000 EUR (that's for the shitty places. its about 4000 EUR for a good seat).

OK, stay tuned, and we will update shortly with many pictures!
