Friendly spectators in Beijing's streets

Yesterday while walking down Wangfujing Avenue, we were stopped by several Chinese Olympics enthusiasts.... sporting patriotic headbands, PRC flags, and painted faces.  They stopped to warmly welcome us to China, and asked to get a photo with us.

This is what the Olympics are all about!  Despite political and cultural differences, the Olympic spirit is meant to unite people from everywhere!

Great experience to be a part of the Olympics here.
