Steve's Blog- Beijing Sport University


05/17/2012

Today was awesome! I started by having an elegant breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon, and even pancakes. I defiantly did not expect the breakfast to be so tasty and similar to American cuisine.  After a phenomenal meal, are class traveled to the Beijing Sport University where we had the opportunity of visiting the National Olympic Training Center.  Chinese Children are chosen at the age of 6 years old to train to become Olympic Athletes.  Americans associate this type of training with “Sports Slavery” and the Chinese refer to this type of training as “Economic Opportunity”.  It was a great experience and I enjoyed seeing the training facility that consisted of a huge track, a climbing wall, the long jump, and much more.

Here are some pictures from today:
