I wanted to make this a poll but couldn't figure out how to do it!
Do people think that the swimming finals should be moved ot the mornig so that they will be on during the evening prime time here inthe States? Many different swimming sites from other countries think that it is a lot of us in hteStates blowing & whinning.

Politics is a rather complicated thing here. :frustrated:
Actually the starting place of Moa(finally spell it right) to cross the river was very close to my university where even a kind of monument was built. I've never been there but I heard people saying that.
Back to the swimming topic. We do not have enough swimming pools here, even in cities, not to mention rural areas. My hometown, a small town in Youngyze River area, which is full of water resource, never have any kind of pools yet so far. People have to swim in the lake, river and reservoir(not sure if it is the right word). Quite a few children are drowned each summer. I personally saw several family friends were in deep sorrow to know their young kids drowned.I was never allowed to swim when I was a kid. And also there is no swimming club or something like that at lower levels national wide like in the towns wide in which people can learn proper swimming skills, participate competitions, etc. People just self teach and self learn how to swim in these towns, exactly like Moa did in his time.
George, I hope you can travel to China to watch the Olympic games in 2008. and then trace a litte bit after your grandfather's footprint. I assure you it is quite an adventure! :applaud:
