Media does not get access to the World Championships venue until September 28th, but we’re already anticipating a fantastic competition.
The airport is ultramodern, upgraded 2012.
Advertising for the competition is everywhere throughout the city. The budget, like this mascot, must be HUGE.
October 1st is National Day, celebrating the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. It’s the start of a week long festival. Flags decorate the streets.

Facebook, YouTube, Google and Twitter are blocked but my websites are working. I’ll get a VPN unless the media centre provides open internet. I’m assuming they will.
