What song by Emancipator was played at the Beijing olympics?

Q: If you know who Emancipator is, you probably know that apparently one of his songs was slipped into the Beijing Olympics. It's mentioned almost everywhere that references Emancipator, but I can't seem to track down which song in particular was played, or at what event. Does anyone know?

Which Hutong in Beijing is the best choice to visit?

Q: A lot of Hutongs in Beijing, I plan to visit only one, which one do you recommend.

Thanks in advance.
Steven, why do you recomend that one.
I'd love to see the traditional live and culture.

A: There are not many Hutongs left in Beijing, which has understandably caused some concern amongst locals and others wanting to preserve traditional aspects of Beijing life.

Back Lake (Hou Hai) Hutong Area is one of my favorite:

"Surrounded by ancient palaces, temples, bell tower and drum tower, Shishahai Lake area is one of the most beautiful among Hundreds of historical scenic spots in old Beijing city.

The hundred-year-old Hutongs and quadrangles which really reflect on local people's life especially make a sharp contrast with the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace which reflect on Emperor's life."

Transitting in Beijing on route from Bangkok to London?

Q: My son will be in Beijing for just 12 hours. He arrives early hours of the morning and departs at lunchtime. What is there for him to do for so long in transit?

A: Unless he has a Chinese visa, he must remain in the Beijing Airport's transit area. There are duty free shops, restaurants, lounges, and other amenities there to keep him busy. Not much, if anything, will be open between midnight and 6am.

What month does it start to get really cold in Beijing during the winter?

Q: How long does fall last, and when can I expect it to start getting seriously cold? :P

A: Mid November to March With Dec - Jan being the coldest.

Is Beijing a boring place to visit if you are a party person?

Q:
I am not an alcoholic nor a druggie, you looser, but if I am considering on spending my hard earned money in a foreign country for a nice vacation, I don't want to be bored out of my mind! I am trying to decide were to travel too!

A: You claim to be a "party person", then say that you don't use drugs and alcohol. That makes no sense. If you don't use drugs and alcohol, then you aren't a "party person". I don't understand what you are trying to say.

Party people are the losers that winners step over on their way to success. Think about that the next time you watch a BMW drive by. One thing for sure, the guy driving that BMW doesn't consider himself to be a "party person".

Bad actions lead to bad consequences. That's true in China, America, and everywhere else.
