I started out ths post elaborating and building on how Beijing thinks that Beijingers should dress and behave during the Olympics.
an excerpt:
— Wear pyjamas in public
— Roll up trousers
— Wear white socks with black shoes
— Wear high collar if they have a short neck
— Women should not wear leather skirts, transparent garments, clashing colours or more than three colour groups at once
— No resident should display affection in public
— Press others to drink at a banquet

Almost immediately It occurred to me how what utter bullshit it all was. So here it is, my 5 Olympics Do’s. I hope you can come up with more!
- Reach across the table and plonk “exotic” morsels on foreigners plates.
- Reply “dog!” every time asked “what’s in this” by your foriegn guests. Pause then break out in light hearted laughter.
- Engage foriegn friends in a few celebratory drinks. If they’re game, kill them with Bai Jiu.
- Before hopping in your BMW tell them you’ve never heard of McDonalds.
- Make a point of taking foriegn friends to places and attractions not officially sanctioned by BOCOG like your cousins KTV, the local bath house or a little known but renouned restaurant.
