99 days away from the big games and we're in Beijing for a few days in the midst of Olympic madness. From the problems that pollution is causing to a chat with my friend Kate who works for a non-profit aimed at raising enviornmental awareness, anti-CNN hotels and more.

[Side note - I completely forgot today was April 30th and will go on record to say that tomorrow in Shanghai should see a large amount of local people protesting outside Carrefour]

    The shirt says: Every behaviour opposing the olympics is shameful....

    Really? I love it. Xuefei, you here in China? If not, I'll send you one (if you want) in exchange for translation.

    Holy pollution batman! That was incredible to see, if not a bit frightening. I never imagined the day when our Olympians wouldn't be able to train because of air pollution.

    I know, right? And keep in mind, it wasn't even May, by the time summer gets here, it's going to be unbearable.

    Cerpet, I'll grab a few before I leave and see what can be done...there might be a few others I can find as well.

    No hurry. It would be great in case you can find the time to do it (and I'll send you the money via paypal). Otherwise I have to find an alternative as I am sure there will be a lot of interesting t-shirt creations over the next months.

    Basically I just want to check out the reactions wearing the shirt here on the streets in the EU. Maybe I get beaten by people with Made-in-China "Free Tibet" flags. ;-)

    Aside from that, interesting video blog. I hope you continue with it.

    I agree with xuefei's translation. Here is a breakdown:
