My Casio-pics are not so funny, I have to admit.
Maybe I'd change to an Olympia camera.

I can't imagine people from countries where they call a plate of french fries for hours in a row not moving a single mill "fastfood" winning any metal, so taking pictures probably is the best bet for them to leave any impression.

As for me, no I'm not taking part in the olympics. I'm that sportive that I didn't want to rob other sportists from any change to win.

Wow! I really need to go to that place (as soon as I feel it's the time to go to China)! Where is it? ;-)

for the Beijing Olympics was the following:

Do not exceed your visa date as you may be fined or thrown in jail...

Why didn't we think of that when we hosted the games four years ago?

My favorite was a sign at a tourist attraction in Guizhou that said "having fun prohibited."
