We’ll fill the arena
The tickets to the Olympic games are hard to find and expensive, Jiujiu told me. For the coveted ones. “Beijing said they will populate the arena [w/ plebs] with the unpopular games, such as jump, discus throw.. .. “ I have no doubt. He thought I’m totally out of the loop when I asked him who’s Liu Xiang, the hurdler who set the world record. I’m no fan of track and field, and duplicated names are common in China - it’s considering to use double surnames - there are 88 million Zhangs in China!
