The Beijing Olympics

[Webmaster]

Wakin is currently working as a volunteer at the Beijing Olympics, along with his son, Andrew!  They're both working as English translators, although my "babelfished" Chinese to English online translation is somewhat limiting, and I'm not exactly sure where they are working there.  Can anybody else shed any light on the specifics?

It's a shame the performance in the opening ceremony got zapped by time and most of the people got ushered out before. How disappointing for the performers!

Yeah, it was.    Wakin said something about not even knowing about it himself until the night before, and how his family called from the US and said, "Where are you?" 

Well, at least we know it wasn't NBC now.  They're forgiven...sort of.   

He's indicated he'll be performing in the closing ceremonies I think...here's hoping we'll get to see him there!
