What; the olympics?

Your reporter from in front of the the Birds nest Stadium.

As mentioned somewhere on these pages before then I just want to mention it again: "No we haven't seen anything live from the games in Beijing". Anyway, nobody will bother in about one months time, it's just now that everybody feel a bit pitty for us because we still cannot receive that Da.. signal. We had some guy here one day from Patsy's electronic shop in Sai Kung, and as they couldn't find any signal as well, they said we might need a booster. I took them too the rooftop and showed them our antenna, and just underneath it there is this little box where some cable's come out and disappear into our house. "Isn't this a booster?"I asked. "Yes, but maybe you also need one inside the house". But to be honest then I don't really mind. I see all the results on the Internet and sometimes some highlight in the news. But god da.., I would liked to have seen Denmark beating Germany in the men's handball yesterday evening. The way it is for us now (with no TV coverage), is the way it must have been for a lot of people in the past, before the media coverage of events like the Olympic's exploded and became what it is today, and at that time people also knew what happened and who won what and why.
So your reporter went out to Sai Kung to see some real life on a busy sunday -Sai Kung is always overcrowded at the weekends- to find something to write about what has nothing to do with us not receiving any life footage from these games.
The red team look more prepared and ready at the Philippino picnic games 2008.
And found a basket ball tournament at the basket court on the city square. A big crowd of screaming women from the Philippines was gathered around the court in different colored dresses with name and number on the back, and on the pitch a red and white team was struggling against each other and the heat. That was a tournament for house keepers. Explanation: Every Sunday the maid's in Hong Kong has a day of and they gather together at every possible place they can to have a picnic and do dancing and other social stuff. And in times like these, even a basket game.
The view from our roof top at 6.25 Hong Kong time. Today it has been really hot too as yesterday and the day before and as it is going to be tomorrow as well, but then on thursday we can maybe expect a little rain on top of the expected 34 degrees.
Keep cool und tchuess aus here where I am.
