Beach Volleyball 16.08

I am seeing crystal blue skies in Beijing for the first time in Beijing.
The weather is incredibly nice since yesterday and today is my day off. I got a ticket for Beach Volleyball yesterday and I have really been contemplating if I really want to go there.
I am not a big fan of Volleyball, besides, the games are at 9am in the morning and then considering the fact that I worked 15 hours yesterday, I was rather thinking of catching some sleep.
I finally decided to go to Beach Volleyball for a change.
The atmosphere at the Venue surprised me. I could only say Wow!
To make my day, Germany played in the second game against China and won not only against the 2 players but the hard-supporting chinese fans.
I certainly have fallen in love for Beach Volleyball....Quite interesting and really different from normal Volleyball.

I went back to the Hotel in the afternoon to catch some sleep because I am meeting up this evening for dinner with a bunch of my colleagues and then watch the 100m final showdown together....

wow. From the horses' own mouth, I should say.

China as an underdog is living up to its "unexpectations"
