The environment of Beijing is so bad, that in some countries, they even made it mandatory for their players to wear masks at Beijing. Also, there are a lot of terror happening. This doesn’t mean that I don’t trust the China’s police, but it still worries me because there has been a lot of terror at china recently. Also, there has been some diplomatic problem between Korea-Jap388_Culture_04an (By the controversial issue about Dokdo(Liancourt Rocks), and Korea-North Korea (Because of the tourist killed in Keum Kang San, which is a popular tourist destination). However, despite these problem, the Chinese government is absolutely sure that they will hold a successful olympic. Good uck, and let us enjoy the world wide festival~

My brother lived for boxing and died for boxing.”
