Tonight at chuanr we celebrated this momentous occasion in America's history with a round of Biajiu. (Fear not, biajiu is not for the weak at heart. You aren't missing much if you've never tried it.)
I have to admit that I haven't had the time to aquaint myself properly with the presdent-to-be, however, I am excited that change is on the way.
This morning Chris and I had an election breakfast and watched the coverage live. I was nearly brought to tears as I watched passionate young people wait in anticipation as their nominee of choice was declared the next president of the United States. I was also impressed with McCain's concession speach. I think it was very sincere and was very moved by his ability to step down with grace.
So what do people here in China think? Most of the people that I have spoken with think that Obama will be the source of great change for our country and are very excited for us that he has been selected.
Only time will tell what this means for our country but I am so very proud that so many people my age were motivated to exercise their right to vote. That in itself is such a great success, in my opinion.
Obama Jiayo! (Go Obama!)

Of course they like Obama. They believe he can make our country more like theirs. I wonder how much they will like the 90% mark-up when they have to buy pantyhose here.
