Jia You!! Jia You!! on June 26

Jia You! Jia You! (pronounced jye-yoh) The crowds shouted over and over as they walked along in an unorganized parade. The Olympic Torch came to town today! and we were there! Sidewalk Tshirt and flag vendors appeared overnight. Sales were good. Flags were waving. Everyone was excited about the One China, One People. That's the local slogan for the Olympics and they plan to win big! Jia You is a phrase you'd use to gas up your car. So, roughly it means Let's get Going! or Let's Do our Best!
