What I like about Thrift Stores is that you can have anything (although slightly used) with a little budget without having to compromise the styles you like. Hand me down clothes these days are most welcome. Other than clothings, you can find jewelries, branded shoes and books; while other thrift stores sell from appliances to any collector’s item.
Yes it’s the Beijing Olympics!
In 2001, China won the bidding for the Summer Olympics. As we all know the symbol of number eight means luck and fortune to Chinese. It was intense and very emotional. And indeed, favor landed onto their hands. It’s now their turn to impress the world what they’ve got. But it wasn’t that easy. There were Chinese people who were not in favor of it. There were some negative things happened before reaching to this point. One of which, was the major earthquake that shook China as well as the world.
The Opening of the China Olympics was modern, yet very friendly; depicting friendship and unity to the world. “One World, One Dream” is the slogan. There were series of performances as part of the opening of the Olympics; all of them were awe- inspiring and breathtaking. Even kids who performed were also precise in their movements. The spirit of the China Olympics was more concentrated on the youth of the next generation. It was indeed moving for a viewer like me to witness a changed China in front of my eyes. God Bless us all!
I’ve been hearing about this for quite some time now but thought it to be impossible. That’s what I thought.
Your dollar bill contains traces of cocaine (16 one- millionths if a gram). Terrible! I saw this news on NBC 7/39 just today. It’s not a new thing anymore, a lot of people have known about this since 1996. I think, I am just one of those small fraction of people who doesn’t know about this yet. More money. More cocaine. What’s next?
