Sebastian Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) Now wait a mo - the flame went out, twice ! Doesn't that mean it has to be relit back at the origin, and carried all over again ? EEK ! Not to worry Darnell...They've got a guy there with the little magic box that contains the FLAME... "Got a light bud???" I find it really ironic that there were many protesters not in China who were TRYING to snuff out the flame, then when it got to China it was snuffed out, albeit by accident, when it was passed from 'official' to 'official'. grrr... Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the torch relays, I abhor any protest during the torch relays outside of China, I view it as some group(s) trying to be violent with a political agenda. But the whole point was to keep the flame lit from it's homing point to the Venue, and China sent a crew of special policeman into the World to make sure that happened. Head Snap? WTF ?

xiaofeizhu Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Too bad all the torch relays in Inner Mongolia are near Hohhot (the capital city) It's a good 24+ hour train ride from our location here. Maybe I can make it to Shenyang...that's pretty close, maybe 4-5 hours by train. Link to comment

We tried that too Mark but it didn't work... We cancelled Chinese TV so that laopo could just watch American TV and improve her English... After one month of watching American programming where you have 3 kinds of programs: sexual innuendo, violence, or both... We BOTH said Chinese TV PLEASE... Link to comment
