“One World, One Dream”
The number 8 symbolizes wealth in Chinese, which is why the 2008 Summer Olympics will be celebrated in Beijing starting today until August 24, 2008. Today’s date not just reflects one 8 but three 8′s in a row. To add more oomph luck for good measure, the organizers added an extra eight by scheduling the opening ceremony at 8 p.m today. This means that, as of this writing, we have 30 minutes more to go to before the grand opening ceremony.

Thousands of couples have also planned and tied the knot today, an auspicious day for weddings (and births as well). In fact, one of my colleagues exchanged wedding vows at 4PM this afternoon. And as I was sleeping my ass off to my heart’s content, I missed her ceremony because I woke up at 5PM already and I decided not to go there anymore (I know she will understand). The wedding ceremony may be finished by then anyway. 
I am sure that many banquet halls, hotels and gardens are flooding with guests at the moment. Lucky indeed for the owners!
