Tear Jerker...
This year, I will be backing Australia in the Olympics. With the opening ceremony going on tonight, my eyes will be glued to the TV until the Athlete's parade is over. I have always admire the strong patriotism of Australians. They are always barracking for their country. You should see them during Australia Day.
Anyway, the reason for my post is to share this ad by Quantas with you guys. The first time I saw it, I wanted to bawl my eyes out. Its really touching. That and I am a sucker for ads like these. :*) I hope you enjoy "the Spirit of Australia" and GO AUSTRALIA. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE.... OI OI OI. Go the Green and Gold.



That IS a great commercial! I got teary-eyed... but I'm preggie. What's YOUR excuse? heeheehee Just kidding!
Thanks for the input on the pronunciation of "8" in Chinese. I keep meaning to add that bit of info to my blog as a way to share the knowledge! It's very interesting. I didn't mean to insinuate that the Chinese chose the date for numerologic reasons, but more that the numerology of the date was not as positive as some might suppose... just some random info gleaned from ChaCha work! :)
