		<description><![CDATA[With the European Union squabbling, my belief that Europe is not the place to be is only reinforced.
Now, I know most Americans go to Europe because, well&#8230;actually, I have no idea why.  It&#8217;s easy, fine.  It&#8217;s what you know, fine.  But is it new?  Not particularly.  It&#8217;s rife with history, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The end, as it were.
After I got into the main venue, I made my way to the Bird&#8217;s Nest to see what I could see.  Of course, I had my pins with me, and was thinking maybe I could sell a few.  No, that&#8217;s a lie: at this point I had given up on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post is a few days late, but I’ve been unable to decide on the best means of relating the events of my last Olympic Beijing Day.  I toyed with the idea of a mini-series-esque approach, several different episodes spanning a week or so of posts, relating backstory and perhaps an intricate sub-plot or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sunday, August 10th
After watching a preliminary round of Women&#8217;s Artistic Gymnastics (which I got into for free because a nice Chinese woman, whose husband couldn&#8217;t make it, gave me a free ticket), I wandered around the Olympic Greens trying to trade pins.  Success was relative.  What I did gain from those aimless wanderings [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Opening Ceremonies were, I’m told, a rousing success.  Granted it took a couple of hours to get home for most, that’s to be expected with a stadium crowd of 90,000 or so, and who knows how many people on the streets just watching the fireworks and lights.  I spent the night in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Screening for the 2008 Olympic Opening Ceremonies is projected to take four hours. The placement of anti-aircraft batteries around the Nest is no secret, while miles of fencing (paradoxically plastered with the &#8220;One World, One Dream&#8221; slogan), and pervasive security forces make casual strolling through the Olympic Greens impossible without accreditation. Staring up at the [...]]]></description>
