I wasn't using very good foresight when I scheduled Taekwondo as our last Olympic sporting event. The venue was an hour away, and we had spent all morning/early afternoon in the sun at Baseball. Additionally, the Taekwondo event was scheduled to last 7 hours. We hadn't heard great things from friends that had already attended the sport due to the fact that bouts last 2 minutes each, but they only make two attempts or so at scoring. They basically just jump around for awhile and then finally go for it.
We ate a long lunch and then began the trek up to the venue. We walked in, never found our seats, watched for about 20 minutes, were bored out of our minds and left.
Oh well, we had been to over 15 events in 13 days. Sometimes you have to know when to quit!
Having fun in the parking lot - my most Chinese pose.
Back to Beijing life!
