There are some local events planned to commemorate the occasion like a 5K and 10K run, an 18K walk in Chaoyang Park in 5 loops which symbolizes the Olympic rings. You can also become a 2008 Honorary Official Website Visitor. Click on the link to become an Honorary Visitor (there are responsibilities with the honor, like catching spelling or grammar errors on the official website). http://en.beijing2008.cn/40/39/article214023940.shtml
One of the benefits of becoming a Visitor is also this nice certificate:
It is China so you can buy a yellow commemorative badge whose front bears the characters of "500 days to go before the Games of the XXIX Olympiad" in both Chinese and English as well as the description of the countdown on March 27, 2007 and the Games' opening on August 8, 2008. On its reverse side the official emblem of the Olympics is shown. The badge's issue is limited to 10,000 and each piece has a serial number which collectors pay attention to.
The China National Philatelic Corporation will issue post cards decorated with the Beijing Olympic emblem and mascots on the occasion of the 500-day countdown to the opening of the 2008:
This auspicious date also coincides with our countdown to returning to the U.S.
