Wanna reserve tickets for Beijing Olympics 2008? 4 more days.

Just a reminder for all those of you that may potentially be interested in tickets for the Olympic Games, which are going to start here in Beijing on August 8th, 2008 at 8pm; 8 (bā 八) being an auspicious number according to Chinese culture because it sounds like the word 发/fā meaning "fortune", "prosper"..

Reserve before June 30th!

PS: Nasty: once can only reserve tickets if one has either a Visa card or a bank of China account (or then time and nerves to go queue up at a bank of China). As for me, Visa's straight forward behavious as a sponsor backfired: I'll stick to mastercard, now more than ever. grmpf.. ^^

...here in old-europe its just the other way round: if you want to buy a ticket for our EURO 2008 Football Championschip in Switzerland you need a MASTERCARD...otherwise you have to stay outside and drink your beer at a "publi-viewing" event...so if you own a VISA card...a reason to stick to VISA...more than ever...;-)
