Lonely Planet Community Highlights : Camping it up at the Olympics

Camping it up at the Olympics

 

If you've been watching the Olympics you may have seen some pretty unusual sports - like BMX riding, beach volley ball and the always popular synchronized swimming.

 

But Olympic camping? That's something we'd like to see.

 

Reporting from Beijing, the boys from China Deep brave the opening ceremony and try to overcome a city-wide accommodation shortage by going for Gold in 'Camping'. (Surely there's room to pitch a tent at the Bird's Nest?)

 

Needless to say, they come out as boy scouts.

 

Looks like a good spot.
