The Olympics will be the biggest race of my life.  I've had some other big ones as a childhood sprinter at the summer track meets in the park, but nothing compared to the international competition I will face in Beijing.

I'm trying my best to stay cool and focus on the task at hand - to win as many gold medals as possible.  I'm eating right, sleeping right, and blogging right.

But it's not all about me.  What's important is that I do my best to represent English, baby!  I've been chosen based on my heart, and I plan to leave it on the track for the members.  I will not let you down.

I will need your encouragement as I prepare, but also once I'm on the track.  Let's bring home the gold.  Let's do it for Ebaby!

In preparation for our trip to China, I got some vaccinations today.  It's recommended by the U.S. government to have shots for Hepatitis A, and because I'm going to Cambodia too, I also got some malaria pills.

I'm sure the risk is very low, but it's always a good idea to be safe.  Last time I went to China I got sick as soon as I got home and couldn't get out of bed for days.  I think it was the Norwalk virus...

Be easy john, I am sure you will be ok during the time in Beijing. But anyway it is better to get some vaccinations on the safe side.

After lots of planning, we will soon take Ebaby! to the Olympics.  Jason, Captain Jeff, and I will arrive right before the opening ceremonies and spend a week meeting Ebaby! members in Beijing, making videos for Ebaby!, and enjoying the world's greatest sporting event.

We were happy to get our Chinese visas yesterday.  We've been reading a lot about the government restricting visas, but I guess they liked us.

We'll have a lot of updates coming soon so stay tuned!  Thanks to ETS and TOEFL for making this all happen.

hey john, how is going?

i just wrote down some food here at http://www.englishbaby.com/news/olympics?page=3 that you guys would have to try in Beijing. Actually there are a lot of others you should try, anyway, just go into any restaurant in Beijing, and ask for the food you guys like, but it's better if there is/are Chinese guys being with you.

 I am in Beijing now, but I am not sure we can meet that time in Beijing. Anyhow, I would like to. I am working in a building called Sigma which is locating between the north 3rd and 4th ring road. But the national gym is near to the north 4th ring road. But unfortunately, I am living far away from the downtown.

 However, wish you guys a good time in Beijng.

 Welcome to Beijing! Here is a song at http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/GfhZE-KapGM/ made for all friends that will come to Beijing. Enjoy it.

 

Thanks,

Zhou
