We had a superb day but I'd make a few recommendations.</p>

<ol>
	<li>Try to go on a day when it's not going to rain or hasn't been raining recently.</li>
	<li>If it's been raining recently, take some walking boots or wellys and a change of clothes - you will get muddy.</li>
	<li>On a dry day, there's enough to do there to occupy the kids for a whole day.</li>
	<li>Buy the £1 map on the way in. If you don't use it, great. If you do need it, in the middle of the maze is too late.</li>
	<li>Don't go into the maze just before lunch. It'll take you a few hours.</li>
	<li>Take <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/theaardvark/sets/72157606875204836/" target="_blank">photos</a></li>

<p>There were <a href="http://www.reason.com/news/show/123920.html" target="_blank">many</a> who thought the Bejing Olympics would become the <a href="http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/China-Olympics-Counterfeit-Goods-Sold-Openly-In-The-Streets/Article/200808115073090?lpos=World%2BNews_1&lid=ARTICLE_15073090_China%2BOlympics%253A%2BCounterfeit%2BGoods%2BSold%2BOpenly%2BIn%2BThe%2BStreets" target="_blank">Counterfeit</a> Olympics when Chinese produced counterfeit Olympic merchandise flooded the city. However, it appears that the authorities have at least <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/12/AR2008061204167.html?hpid=moreheadlines" target="_blank">protected the intellectual property</a> it stands to <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/so-all-fake-olympic-goods/story.aspx?guid={A97476EC-ACB8-4B5C-AB3F-4DCB3BF5AA08}" target="_blank">make some money</a> from.</p>

<p>It would appear that the biggest fake is the Olympics itself. An indication that the authorities are more concerned with appearance than substance. It doesn't bode well for the appearance that China has moved toward a more open society with improved human rights.<br />
