Cheap drinks


A quick note on the cost of food at the Olympics. About a month ago, I went to Dodger Stadium where a beer sells for $13. $13!

At the baseball game I went to tonight, a large beer went for 8 yuan, about $1.25. That was the same cost as the Bird's Nest.

Bottled water is 3 yuan, or about 50 cents. Can you imagine how much a bottle of water would be if the Olympics were held in the US?

Going through some files, I found about 45 Yuan (actually, the smaller bills that really "cents"). Shoudl have sent that to you for just these moments! Love that seafood in a bag!
