8/08/08 - The start of World Olympics

The World Olympics kick-off officially started today and I must say I was blown away by the ceremony that was held in Beijing with about ninety-three thousand fans who watch the all the best athletes around the world to compete for the best of the best. It was pretty neat to see the lighting of the Cauldron where the most famous Olympian gymnast Li Ning

Another highlight was the little boy hero named Lin Hao who was walking with 7 ft. 6 in. Yao-Ming. Supposedly the young boy was a victim of the Sichuan Earthquake and was stuck in the earth quake and half of the kids in his class died, the little kid saved some of the kids.




The slogan for this year's olympics is "One World, One Dream"

I was disappointed at a few things how North Korea and South Korea did not come in as 1 country. Another thing that disturbed me was when Taiwan came out they announced it as Chinese Taipei and the people were holding Olympic flags.

For where half of my roots come from Taiwan, I was a bit disturbed to see this. It shouldn't be about politics when it comes down to the Olympics and unfortunately even in this day and age it exists.

I thought this logo I found on someone's flickr was interesting for the olympics:
Reminds me of one of our earlier designs, here's a hint - "Higher Law"

Keeping the struggle alive - Grass Roots

ORCHID ISLAND, Taiwan (AP)

Trying to keep the Culture of the Tao aborigines of Taiwan's Orchid Island on these 23 ft. boats. The boat somehow is fasten by these wooden planks from different types of trees on the island and not having 1 single nail or bolt to keep it in place. Talking about keeping it OG.

The struggle lives on as the Tao tribesmen try to keep the tradition alive since most of the men have been moving toward city life in Taiwan and its becoming more difficult to teach the children.

It gets harder and harder these days on keeping traditions alive.
