Maybe Taiwanese women want to marry someone from Hong Kong or California, and soon may prefer Mainland men if they have enough money or look really good ;-)

BTW, I noticed Zimbabwe is represented in the Olympics.

Re: Israeli coment that Olympic ceremony is fascistic...

The word of the day is "Kvetching"

kvetch (kvch) Slang
intr.v. kvetched, kvetch·ing, kvetch·es
To complain persistently and whiningly.
n.
1. A chronic, whining complainer.
2. A nagging complaint: "a rambling kvetch against the system" Leonard Ross.
[Yiddish kvetshn, to squeeze, complain, from Middle High German quetzen, quetschen, to squeeze.]

The other thing that surprised me is the participation of
"Chinese Tapei" You know the IOC would have rolled over
and let Taiwan be excluded if China had pushed.

Somebody in Beijing has enough confidence and leadership not to exclude Taiwan.
