Beijing 08!

Arrived in Beijing today. Already the q's were already quite short at immigration. But I went into the even shorter q - for people working on the Olympics.

Saw the Lenovo "Powering the Biggest Idea in the World" ad and the image of the IdeaPad U110 staring out at me the minute I got off the plane. It felt like I went straight from the plane into the office. Which was kinda cool. (I wish I had shot the image of the Olympic Torch on the left, unfortunately, it wasn't me)

Even cooler cuz I had seen/ heard my colleagues working on the new campaign at inception.

Saw the Singapore Olympic Sailing team right after going through immigration. Wished them well, wished them good luck. They looked so fresh and excited. Way cool.

Got my bags the minute I got to the baggage carousel. Pleasantly surprised. As efficient as Changi Airport...well almost.

In the cab on the way to the hotel the radio DJs were talking about the Olympics. Big, big buzz. Lotsa energy.
