I am now at CU Book Center, Chamchuri Square, Bangkok

I am now waiting for you here.

Muito legal!

I completely forgot to say which events I’m going to see! I didn’t get a pass to see the opening ceremonies so the earliest I could get a visa was August 9^th. The first event I see is the swimming, then tennis, softball, basketball and water polo.

Yesterday I picked up my Berlitz phrase book for Mandarin, the major language in mainland China. In Hong Kong most people speak Cantonese. The language structure is similar to English so I’m hoping that I can make some sense of it. So far I know that ‘shie shie’ means thank you. That’s a start.

It looks like the Chinese people are really excited about hosting the Olympics and showcasing their athletes. I understand that Yao Ming has been cleared to play basketball for China. He’s a huge celebrity there. More importantly, did you know that Miss China is Miss World? Now her I’ve got to see.

I got a new Canon video camera for the trip. It’s great! I hope to be able to post some videos of the scenes. Not too long, I promise.

Wei Ziya stands 175 cm and she will represent China in Miss Universe 2008.

Então que a China tá colocando na roda candidatas à altura esse ano.

Dá uma olhada e diz se a faixa já não é delas?

Juro que a foto não está desproporcinal e os corpos não estão alongados, tá?

If you are wondering where is RAW's DAMM nice man, Ron Simmons, he has recently took up WWE's rehab offer.

Kurt Angle recently discussed how WWE like to over work talents on a Radio talkshow. Angle also said that when he worked for WWE that he would only get to come home about five days in a month. Then they asked him about Brock Lesnar and Kurt surprisingly semi-complimented him by saying he was a good in ring competitor but then stated that he was a "mental midget," claiming Lesnar could not do well under pressure. Apparently, Lesnar has been cool about this.

Lexi Pillman, step daughter of the late Brian Pillman is close to making her wrestling debut. Kind of interesting that she would choose to join the wrestling business given that she have good paper qualifications.

That makes two wins for East Asia in Two Years, Miss World and Miss Universe. Last year, being from China's chief regional, Mori Riyo (森 理世), of Japan.

I'm sorry, I know I will get railed for this, but I think Mori Riyo is hotter and I'm not saying that because my wife is Japanese either!! Still, its cool East Asia took home the prize two years in a row. As far as Mori-san, you decide. Mori-san Vs Zhang Xiaojie??

** Any nasty ethnic remarks will be deleted, so don't try it! :-)
