W: Yeah, I went to Qingdao and just came back yesterday.

M: Really? Did you go to see the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center? I thought you were just shooting the breeze when you said you would go. How is it?

W: It's really amazing. During the 2007 Qingdao International Sailing Games, around 5,000 people came out to watch the competition every day along the seawall.

M: Newspapers say the design received high praise from the International Olympic Committee. The venue will be used for the 2008 Olympic Games.

W: Fortunately, I have been there already. It's a pity you're not going to see it.

M: Although I know my chances of getting an Olympic sailing ticket are slim, I'll keep trying anyway. Otherwise, I'm sure you'll nag me to death telling me about your experience there.
