A Day at the Olympic Torch Relay


We were touring Xiamen that day, was trill to hear from the news that the torch relay is going to pass here tomorrow morning, at first we plan to cancel the tour and wait at the park for the marathoner. But the tour guide insist that we tour first and go to the park afterward. We were able to finish the tour early and waited for it for 2 hrs. The kids were tired of waiting so in the end, we went back to the hotel. After we left the marathoner pass by just after 5 mins. So sayang. But in the end when it was our dinner time, we met one of the marathoner in another hotel where we have dinner. So we had photo shot with him. Which was better this close than waiting at the park. The kids were able to see and feel the weight of the torch. It was really very nice torch.
