Experiencing the Beijing Olympics
S.H.E Carry Identifications At All Times
[2008.08.09 China Times]
S.H.E flew to Beijing earlier to participate in a series of Olympic-related activities. On the night before last, they performed in the Olympic Torch event at Ditan ParK in Beijing. Yesterday, they attended the Olympics Opening ceremony. Therefore, they experienced first hand the high security measures that Beijing had taken for the Olympics. They laughed: [In the past, we can go anywhere with just our faces. Now, we have to carry with us our passport and temporary visa at all times to prove our identities.]
Originally S.H.E were going to miss the Olympics due to work-related reasons but in the end, they were able to overcome all obstacles and received a chance to experience the Olympics personally. This made the trio jumping with joy. However coming to Beijing this time, it was quite obvious to them that there were less cars and traffic was smoother. They said frankly: [This probably was due to the regulation of car licenses that were allowed into Beijing.]
Now, regardless where S.H.E went, they would have to carry their identifications with them. In fact in order to enter any Olympic related facilities, they must leave the car and be subjected to a security check, even their handbags must be scanned through an X-ray machine before they can enter the facility. They said: [Even thought this type of close examination would waste a lot of time but security is more important.]
Because S.H.E endorsed Coca-Cola which was one of the biggest sponsors of the Olympics, they received six tickets for the Opening Ceremony. Therefore, Selina who brought her parents, Ella who brought her second sister and Hebe all went together. Although the ceremony would not start until 8 pm, S.H.E set out before 4 pm in order to have enough time to go through the numerous security checks. The trio also excitedly indicated that they would most certainly be cheering loudly for the Chinese team.
