what is cheapest method to attend china olympics?

"Jim" wrote in message news:2%6gj.730$sH.201@trnddc04...
I stay at a nice little hotel in Beijing for $43USD a night. However,
during the Olympics, they have raised their rates ten times to $430USD a
night. The greed of the Chinese is amazing! It is also showing up in the
price for their products. As an importer who does a lot of business with
China, I am beginning to abandon the practice. I can now buy many items
cheaper in EUROPE!


I saw the same thing in Atlanta in 1996.

That has been done at all Olympics no matter where in the world.

I attended the Montreal Games in '76 and we rented a room in a nice
family's house at a very reasonable rate. *It beat the overpriced
opportunist gouging by the Hotel industry.

I am surprised if it is allowed in communist China. *Yep. Well, here is

Wake up Chinese! You will LOSE the American market if you don't stop your
greed!


Jim. If you can no longer afford things do things because you don't
have the ability to rise above changed circumstances do lower your
expectations. No one is going to give you a free lunch. Else the
whole world will come across as very greedy and you are just another
piece of dead meat.

So

Good for you. The Europeans will love you and so will your former
Chinese suppliers. Its win-win. Don't go back to those greedy
Chinese. Do even hang around in SCC.

any secrets for Americans to securing cheap western-style motel rooms

I remember people were able to camp for the Greek Olympics. But
camping is not really a Chinese (or Asian) activity, so I don't think
there are any campgrounds nearby. There'd be no cheap hotels within
100 mile radius of Beijing. There are other activities in other
cities (Shanghai, HK?), but again I think cheap and Olympics are two
opposite concepts.

i heard many chinese families are renting their apartments for
olympics month to westerners at a decent profit.

That too, but more memorably they rent out their daughters.
