The first thing Pin Xiu and Theresa do at the Village
is hang up their formal Singapore uniforms so
they don't get crumpled. ST Photo: Sim Chi Yin

Theresa gets down to business and
acclimatises to the Beijing waters.

Yes, this is the first and best report on China so far. Give us the real picture and no 'para-western' commentary about human rights, income difference, heavy government involvement in sports (........ like me guess oh, table tennis appointment), hosting the game to keep divert peoples unhappiness (wonder why certain countries would like to host the F1).
