Wang Xuri, a Chinese emigrant says "We came back from the US the day before. We had no plan of returning until we watched the opening ceremony. It was spectacular, a stunning surprise indeed. We were so excited and couldn't wait. Now I'm back and everything makes me happy. We either spend our time in the venue or walking around in the park. It's fun and beautiful."

Jose Jones, an American visitor, says "The Games have been going well. Everything seems to be organized compared to other Olympics. This is my seventh one, so it's really good. It's really been good. I mean people have been really friendly and it's been very easy to get around, not being able to speak Chinese."
