Day 25 - Thursday 21st August - Beijing is sinking in the rain


Today, it rained heavily all day, so not many people came to the House of Switzerland. When it rains in Beijing the the streets look like small rivers.

The last 3 days of this Olympic games are coming to an end now. Although, many decisions are to be made in the final days. Many dreams came true but there were many disappointments as well.

Where are the pictures of the parties in the HoS? No more medals?
Very soon you will leave Bejing, too, Hans Jost.
A warm welcome back in Switzerland!
