It is a great honor to be one of the four Chicago Olympic Volunteers at the Beijing Olympics. On July 30, 2008, my family and I travelled to Beijing, China via United Airline flight 851 non-stop from Chicago O'Hare Airport to Peking Capital Airport (Pek). This is the first time we flew over the north pole!
Beijing Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games (BOCOG) assigned me to serve at the National Aquatic Center (water cube). My team consists of eight medical students from one of the top medical schools in China called Peking Union Medical College.
Take a look of the photographs taken at the watercube....
