Olympics Salon tonight.

I have a conversation class about the Olympics.  That is just goddamn Jim Dandy!  I am sick of the Olympics.  Being in a country that is hosting the Olympics, one will be cursed with having to heard about them endlessly as the buildup, to the time they actually happen, begins.  Now, in China, one is doubly cursed because the subject is now such a hot potato that no politician or foreigner in China wants to deal with.  To say the Beijing Olympics is almost akin to saying the Nazi party.  Not too many from the West can hear the word without the bad connotations.
