Beijing bound?
Two years ago (2006), they were in a “competition” to be named. Now, they are in another “competition” to be selected for the Beijing Olympics.
As part of the Beijing Olympics attractions, eight panda cubs from Wolong will be chosen to go and stay at the Beijing Zoo. The public has been asked to vote for who they think should be included:
Wolong Cubs for Beijing
The 16 shown on the page include my Yoong Ping aka Feng Yi, Judy’s Qian Qian and also my picture buddy from last year, Lang Lang. Yoong Ping is currently at #2, Lang Lang at #8 and Qian Qian at #10.
They all have their own info pages:
Yoong Ping
Qian Qian
Lang Lang
It is so nice to see recent pictures of all three of them!
I’m revising my travel plans for this year to focus on getting to Wolong in August and also Beijing for a couple of days.
Meanwhile, I was supposed to fly to San Diego this weekend for a couple of Janis Ian shows next week, but something came up and I couldn’t. The Cerritos ticket has gone to a fellow Rudie, Azure.
Just as well, cuz now I may be Beijing bound, along with my Yoong Ping.
