Olympic flame finally reach Beijing
The olympic torch relay began its last stretch in Beijing yesterday afternoon, handed over to the first bearer Yang Liwei, the country’s first Astronaut at the landmark Forbidden city, once home of China Emperors!

The flame will travel in the host city for three days before the opening ceremony this coming Friday, passing Beijing landmarks including Tian’anmen Square, the egg-shapped National Center, Temple of Heaven and will end at the National Stadium – Bird Nest.
Among the bearers, there are basketball celebrity Yaoming, and famed film director Zhang Yimou.

We have been kept guessing who will be the last torch bearer to light the main Olympic cauldron at the opening ceremony!
I don’t think Chairman Mao and Deng Xiaoping would ever imagined this! They would have been delighted!

Behind The Scene
My name is Bibi Liew and I'm a third-generation oversea Chinese. I'm born on the 3rd of November and that makes me a typical Scorpio. I stayed in several countries and ended up in Shanghai for reasons that are still not entirely clear to myself... I came to China and work as an Expatriate in 2004. I am an Interior Architect and design Hotels and Club Houses in many Cities in China. Ron and I will relocate to Nanchang in March 2010 and I'll be a WAHM!
