Today, nothing particular. It is raining all the day, and I stay in the appartment.Day 7, August 15, 2008
I go directly to Olympex to make my customized postcards, I must wait. After, I go to the Coca-Cola pin trading. I sit on a table and I trade. I'm leaving a little later for the Club France where I met Régine, a French volunteer aged 78 years met in Torion. I talk a moment with her. Then, I returned to the apartment.)

I go to Olympex at 9AM. The trading is starting. I meet Antoni Papio an andorran collector with his wife. Later, Irina is coming. We go together to Chaoyang park, the Coca-Cola trading center. We can get 2 tables and we stay to the closing of the park. After, we go to the russian press club. We are waiting for the women fencing team which won the gold medal just somme hours before. They made a conference press and we can take some good pictures and autographs. After, we go to the dinner banquet organized in the near room. It is extraordinary, as usual with the russian people.)

I go to the Olympic Park. Irina give me a ticket yesterday for a free entrance. It is very big, I see the "bird nest" stadium very near. It is impressive! and also the water cube where are the swimming races. The superstore is very big, but without more different items than in the other stores. I go out and I join Chaoyang Park where is Michel.)
