Me, too. I think it's not just Beijingers-- probably all Chinese people get full of excitement and expectation at the mention of the 2008 Olympics. As soon as I got off the airport I felt this atmosphere. ''Beijing Welcomes You" banners and the cute, laughing faces of the ''Fuwa" mascots are everywhere. It makes you think immediately of the friendliness and enthusiasm of the people of Beijing and of China. Even more significant, I made a special trip to the Summer Palace to take part in a countdown ceremony for the Games. It was really an unforgettable experience.
