8-8-08, 8 pm the Olympics began. What a beautiful opening ceremony? We are watching it now.
It was interesting that dd realized that such a correspondence in day, month, year cannot happen again for almost 100 years (89 to be precise). Next year is 2013 and there is no month to correspond to. DS came out with the fact that white is a symbol of bad luck in China. Where he picked up this fact I do not know.
One of the great things that will come out of this Olympics will be that we all will become more familiar with the Chinese culture, their history, and their beliefs.
Are any of you doing anything special to delve into Chinese culture or the history of the Olympics with your family? What interesting facts have you come across?
