Torch Relay in Hong Kong on 2th May 2008

Today, I have join the cheering team to the torch relay organized by my company. We wait at the road side with a group of secondary students. This is a rainly day, fortunately, not so heavy. We wait for an hour and finally saw the torchbearer running towards us.

This is the first time we saw the torch (with flame). It is wonderful and unforgetable. :)
