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:
