Catching the Olympics

9/3/2008

I know this is a little late, seeing as the Olympics have been over for more than a week, but in my defense, this was from the final day.

Certain of the larger bus stops in Shanghai are outfitted with flat-screen TVs (and no, nobody tries to break them, steal them, or spray-paint them. There is something to be said for civilized society, and you may read that as you will). Most of the time, as far as I know -- it has to be said that I don't pay too much attention -- they are either off or showing ads. On a Sunday in the not too distant past, however, this one was showing the US-Spain gold-medal basketball game. It drew a much bigger crowd (I counted as many as 25 people in the last five minutes of game time) than the Chinese guy in the boxing bout that preceded it.

    Huh?

    No, I haven't seen the movie, and yes, I chose the name anyway.  I'm told an Asian woman with green eyes is a plot point.
