In this installment we head to Tianjin, a neighboring city, to watch a women's soccer match.

The first in a series of videos shot while I was in Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games.

After many flights, and many layovers, I am home from China. To say it was an amazing experience would be an understatement, to say it was life changing would be cliché but closer to the truth.

It was more than China, more than the games, more than the culture or the food, and more than the sum of its parts. It was personal. Its amazing what a few days alone on a distant continent can do to you; strip away the cell phone, perpetual email access, TV, radio, friends, family, the comfort of your own bed, and your perspective on things will change greatly. 

After it was all done, I shot about 5 1/2 hours of tape, and took over 200 pictures, the pictures will be up soon, and the video will start to trickle in once I can go through it all. Thank you everyone who checked out the photoblog, and thanks to TripFilms for their financial support.
