And you're probably right about foreigners backing out of going. My Chinese friend in the US told me that a one way trip air-fare to Bejing from the US is close to $1800. That's just not worth paying to just go see the olympics IMO unless you're just a rich person with money to burn who likes to travel anyway. I have a feeling that this event is not going to be the big splash for Beijing like some thought. Especially in a tough global economy like we're having now. Wow, $300 USD per night is a little high.
