The Beijing Olympics is cool. It has five mascots. I had expected them to be giant panda, golden monkey and white dolphin, the sorts of rare species that needs protection.

It¡¯s kind of creation for the organizing committee choosing these five babies, which are fine to combine the characters of animals and human. They reflect some Chinese flavors, but if they¡¯ve obtained the concept of humanity, technology and environmentalism, I don¡¯t know if there¡¯ll be other options.
