Hello there!

Wow, I can’t believe I have been here for nearly three weeks in Beijing and what a journey it has been so far.
When I first arrived, it was such a culture shock with the weather being humid and the language barrier being so wide. But I found that I have settled in really quickly with the help of everyone I have meant here is so friendly.

Beijing has so much to offer and with the Olympics coming up, it has worked so hard to accomodate for everyone’s needs. The organisation that David and I are working for over the Olympics, BOCOG gave us a three day tour, which included the Great Wall, Ming Tombs and the Summer Palace. It has been such a great experience so far and if ever have the chance to come to Beijing, you really must visit these places. There is so much history to cover and the culture is so intriging. One of the other things you must do of course is have the famous Peking Duck. Definitely a highlight for me so far!

This week I have started my training at the Workers’ Indoor Stadium, where I will be covering the Boxing.
