Tokyo has officially been awarded the 2020 summer Olympics. Has there been any Chinese reaction(positive or negative) to this, or is it just a "big deal, who cares" kind of thing?
All the Chinese people around me started whooping and cheering when we heard the news.
They all had big smiles on their faces and some were shouting, 'well done our friends in Japan'.
One guy turned to me a said, 'Don't you just love the Japanese, if anyone deserves the Olympics after the recent disasters it is our friends across the sea'.
Someone else shouted, 'Who gives a sh*&£ about those dam islands, lets make them neutral in honour of the Olympic spirit'.
At that point boxes of sushi and saki was brought in and we had a Japanese culture party.
It's not in Japan, it's in Turkey http://beijingcream.com/2013/09/hey-xinhua-whos-hosting-the-2020-olympics/
