Uncensored!

I just arrived back in Beijing today and just viewed a story on CNN about how China is not going to be censoring the Internet during the Olympics. I wasn't previously able to access my blog while in the mainland, so I figure I'd give it a shot. After a couple of taps on the keyboard, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I am now able to view my own blog inside mainland China.

To celebrate this new found openness to blogging, I've decided to post this picture I took today in Hong Kong on the way to the plane with my new 3G iPhone. This was Team South Africa on their way to Beijing. I overheard that at least one of these guys is from the crew team. As I arrived in Beijing, I could see that the Olympics have definitely arrived. There was a separate area for the athletes to go through and everything was pretty clearly marked and organized.

Security seemed increased, but it wasn't unpleasant and didn't interfere with my arrival in Beijing. Speaking of security, I heard it was very hard to get into the Olympic Village where the press and athletes are staying. I know at least one person staying there and I heard even her parents are having a hard time going in to visit her.

I'm working feverishly in Hong Kong and Beijing to finish the first music video I've directed. But I should be done this week, in which case I hope to have more time to start blogging.;
