Trip to Provence + 10 Days left till the Beijing Olympics!!
I went to South of France (or Provence) for a week holiday and been to many places!! My favourite one is this, the Roussillon trail. It is full of sandstone (I think) and wonderful colours!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With ten days to go, I will keep blogging about my trips to Provence every day, with a little bit of information and my opinion about both China and the 2008 Olympics!
I think I should start off with the points which people has said the Beijing should not hold the Olympics. Today, perhaps this has been the most popular topic of all few months ago - The Human Rights in China. Many people abroad said that China was wrong and Tibet should be independent. However, I don't think so. China might have done wrong but I am sure that the government has done it in a much better way than in 1989. Tibet has been part of China for hundreds of years and there is no reason for independance in this particular occassion. As I said in one of my blog posts before, this is partly western media's fault. Also, I feel that there was a trend to protest for Tibet and against China. You might be wondering why I said that - anyone realise that after 5.18 earthquake in Sichuan, people all around the world seem to have forget Tibet all together! There is also a clip on YouTube about a news reporter asking the protestors the location of Tibet - unfortunately, no one answered it right!!
One of the leaders in Czech Republic has said that he will wear a Tibet badge when attending the opening of the Games. What I am thinking now, is what China going to do if an athelete shows a Tibet flag when he is getting his medal?? Tell me what you think!!
