Asian games

Okay - totally off topic here. The Asian games are coming to GZ!  I think they are due to start November 9th??  So, the city is preparing and has been for the last year or more.  Off the charts in flowers and greenery, statues and they are planning something similar to Venitian Night at home.  There had to be at least 20 decorated boats on the river and we got to see them practicing.  I think they are planning to have each one decorated with lights, but this was day time, so we didn't get to see the lights - but it was a sight to see! This is a big deal.  As I understand from our guide they have been constructing the city for over a year and it has been horrible to live with, but now it's all coming together and we've been lucky enough to be able to enjoy the beauty before the huge crowds that are sure to be here for the games.  It's the first time in over 50 years GZ has been the host.
