all eyes on China.

20 minutes till the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony!

i'm not from China nor do i speak the language
i don't know jack shit about the country's history
and i don't practice most of the customs and traditions

in fact, apart from my appearance, the only true relation i have to my native country is my love for Chinese food.

but seeing how far the country has come and knowing it will further amaze us in the future,
watching the athletes give it their all and crying with pride & joy when they succeed,
puffing up with pride while watching the cultural performances in the opening ceremony,

i can say without a doubt that i've never been prouder in my entire life to be Chinese.
