What's the same about the two mentioned in my title?

MY AUNT GOT TICKETS TO BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I'm taking off from school to go but the Chinese plane ticks are soaring from here, dam them! But I can afford it.

BTW: Not many final days but I don't care. The finals are expensive!

Stuff me into a luggage bag and take me with you. I'm tiny, it'll work. I promise.

I think the 08 olympics are in Beijing if I remember right.

My stepmom was going to try to get tickets, as well as my aunt in Korea. I'll be checking with them to see if they got any

They are in Beijing, and I love Faye, the ceremony is going to be extremely crowded but I can't wait.

I hope you've already made reservations for the olympics or else its going to be next to impossible to find a hotel/motel to stay in.

I already reserved mine

@ CN
My aunt is taking care of it, I think it won't be a problem, she lives in Beijing.

@ Xyzzzy
We have the pool pass but supporting China means I'm probably going to see more diving than swimming.

Ni hao ma? You know they're (the Chinese) expecting a terrorist attack? They got a whole squad of special forces police just for the Olympics. Maybe you shouldn't go.... The Chinese don't just throw around random paranoia and suspicion, we're more logical than you think. When the Chinese think there's a terrorist attack coming you'd better believe that they are very confident in their intelligence and- Hey! Did that smiley just move?!? Ghost! And what the hell does Ctrl+w do? Are you trying to kill me?! Hey! Why are you so interested in there "pictures", you a spy or something?

Its probably just to beef up security

With a big event like that, of course someone is going to expect a terrorist attack. It's a big target, although I highly doubt any attack will be made.

What's the world series of video games, I've never heard of that.

It sounds like fun.

WSVG is pretty new, only three years so far? It's annual and my cousin loves video games much more than I do so they got tickets to that too and since I'm going back to visit I might as well tag along.

About the ctrl+w thing, it's the MOST common trick in RTS games... maybe even more than alt+f4 to get 1k resources.

What's with the evasive answer huh? Just waiting for me to find out myself? Well you'd better get comfy. My friend on the Ballistic Bitches is going to try to get me tickets to the NPPL, it'll be fun as long as no one gets shanked. (Look it up, paintball is the only international sport where you can cuss in the team names. The next closest thing is a college football team called the Pennsylvania Cocks [roosters])
