Olympic Torch Relay: Nanjing, China

Olympic Torch Relay: Nanjing, China

The Olympic Torch Relay finally arrived in Nanjing after the 3 days delay for mourning of the Si Chuan earthquake victims. The streets were packed with a river of red flags and “I heart China” t-shirt. I, of course, join in the fun. Why would anyone want to miss out on such an experience? Enjoy the photos, my favorite one is the one with a guy wearing a “I heart Tibet” t-shirt. Who ever said there is no freedom of speech in China needs to take a second look.
