北京欢迎你!

UPDATE: A video that works...with English subtitles!



Hello! Currently a slave to the Chinese language and time to sleep (much less blog) is precious, but wanted to post this video. Hopefully you'll get a couple of things out of it, namely:

(1) An early intro to one of the Olympic theme songs ("北京欢迎你" or "Beijing Welcomes You")!
(2) A mini tour of Beijing attractions (Great Wall! Forbidden City! Behai! Peking duck!)
(3) A introduction to the wide world of Chinese pop stars (go, go, Jackie Chan!).
(4) Perhaps your first glimpse at China's YouTube equivalent, YouKu. It's quite good, actually...and perhaps even more functional than YouTube in some respects (at least a prettier interface). Uh, only if you read Chinese, though, I guess. As per the update, you're relegated back to the world of YouTube!
