Beijing bound

Well, yesterday I booked my flight to the Beijing Olympics. I will be there from August 4 - August 21 and now I can really plan the trip. Next up is lodging, have a possible apartment but am open to other suggestions too. I know the hype always makes travelers nervous towards the olympics that everything will be booked and very expensive but in my past four olympics that always doesn't happen. But we will see since Beijing and the Beijingers seem to be trying to cash in big time, with most places averaging 10 times the normal cost. Talk about gouging tourists....
