Where in Beijing can I watch the 2012 opening ceremony on Friday??
HiNeed your expertise people!! We are flying into Beijing on Friday and am staying at the 365 Inn in the Xuan Wu District and wondered if you knew where we could watch the London Olympic opening ceremony on friday?? It starts at 9pm UK time, so 4am in Beijing? A pub/bar would be ideal and with English commentary! Am I asking too much?! Any help hugely appreciated!

The opening ceremony is almost certainly going to be shown live on CCTV 5 (which is currently known as CCTV Olympics); I've already seen re-runs of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics in anticipation of the new Olympics starting. Most televisions in China carry CCTV 5 - if there's a television in your room, there are excellent chances you'll be able to watch it in your hotel room. But asking for English commentary is certainly asking for too much...
