Better air for Olympic games?
by Barbora Misakova

Chinese people are very arduous. At least I have such a feeling. They always remind me those little red ants. They are living all together in the big ant kingdom, together working on its blooming, building and protecting it – everything all together. Anything what seems as a good idea for their kingdom is good for them as well and that's why it must be done. So when the Ant Kingdom is preparing a big event and lot of ants from other ant kingdoms are expected to come, little red ants have to prepare themselves. They must show their kingdom in the best light. They are doing their best to show to the rest of ant's world that their kingdom deserves their appreciation.
The same is going on in China. Their preparation have no end and I think that until the whole evening has its end, China never stop with preparations. Just like a little red ants – still moving, still doing something. Incredible. This time they are trying to clean the Chinese air. The number of 3.3 million cars on the roads is quite noticeable (even when you look at the sky). So the government decided to reduce Beijing's foul air pollution before the start of Olympics. It's pretty amazing and fascinating, especially when the plan says about 63 percent of emissions which should be reduced. How do they want to achieve it? Easily. When you drive your car on days when you shouldn't, you will be fined $14. So it is not as optimistic and romantic as in the ant's kingdom I would say. Traveling by bus or subway in such a hot weather instead of sitting in my own car with air conditioning, well I don't know if I would agree with that. Of course, Chinese people have no other choice. Unless they want to pay fine. So I hope that the Chinese government is able to fulfill their plan and clean the air as they want.
