I got a eMail from my US friend on Aug 9th 2008,
the subject is What a Country — WOW and the content is,

To my friend Steve,

I want to tell you how impressed we are concerning what your country has done. I hoped you watched the start of the Olympics. What a great job.

Be very proud of China, I know there is a great deal going on with your people and how fast you are growing, but over the next generation I think things will get better.

Tell all your friends we are very proud of what you have done.

Bob
