Qiqihar Sports Festival 2007
Today finally the weather was right for the big day: We Austrians were put into red track suits and equipped with small and big flags to represent our country. I didn't take part as a sportsman, nevertheless I could catch the feeling of the event - you can call it at least an ambivalent one.
yip, a strange feeling - nearly all of the audience is forced to see the event - as well as the participants who are performing show acts at the opening ceremony; maybe they don't mind or like it, because it's fun (isn't it?) but nevertheless - they have to do it, whether they like it or not.
A big show - invisible the puppetmasters behind it.
