All the talk in Shanghai for the summer has been about F1. I read the papers in Shanghai and Hong Kong yesterday and they all featured multiple pages on the race.
You're right about Beijing. My first trip to China was a year ago and they had Olympic fever then, too. They're moving factories out of the city, rebuilding entire areas, and really gearing up for it.
They have an enormous sense of pride about both events, and a huge level of excitement. There is also some Expo 2010 in Shanghai, and they're already getting ready for that.
China is an exciting place to be, that's for sure!
Happy mid-autumn festival! Eat those mooncakes!
