More volleyball

We are at the next men's volleyball event. Italy vs Venezuela was an
interesting game but Italy won fairly easily. This is also the same
group as China and the US, who will play each other later today - too
bad we don't have tickets to that! The US seems to be dominating this
group and probably has a good shot at medals. Up next is Germany v
Egypt.

It's interesting how the fans have picked up local expressions, like
Yidali... jia you (literally "Italy add oil"), meaning "go Italy!" And
the Chinese fans basically cheer for everybody if China isn't playing,
so the atmosphere is very festive! Well, that's about it folks,
tomorrow is handball and tonight is Peking duck :).
