We arrived back from Mudanjiang on 08.08.2008. Though we slept better on way back than on way there, we were still quite tired from the train ride. Met a friend of Grace from high school on the train, in fact next cabin to us. She has a 9 yr old daughter so Kristine and Kimberley were well entertained on the train.
Managed to watch the first hour of the ceremony at home, but Grace and I crashed out at 930pm local time when the national teams started marching into the stadium. Did catch up with the replays the next morning.
A dear friend of ours knew someone with tickets to the finals. I asked our friend to book 4 tickets for us to Mens Hockey final thining that wouldnt be a popular event for the local Olympics fans. The official price per ticket is RMB80, and I thought I might have to pay maybe, 3-5 times that, which was okay, but the asking price turned out to be RMB1500. Thats RMB6000 for the family. A 47inch LCD TV screen costs RMB10,000, so we thought it maybe a wiser investment to buy a big TV...
