input question: 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. What was said before this conversation????
