Ever since we started trading pins at the Olympics, Nathan was on a quest for one special pin - one depicting the water cube. He was just SURE he would get it. But after four days of trading, he had not ever seen it (his sister saw it once). So even after everyone else packed their pins away (so as not to set off all the metal detectors at the airport), Nathan insisted on keeping his with him in case he saw the water cube there - he was SURE he would. Well, wouldn't you know it - right as we got ready to show our passports to leave the country - he noticed that the businessman in front of us had several pins on his backpack. One was the water cube pin! Nathan asked him if we wanted to trade, and the man nodded yes and just gave him the pin - no trade required! Then he threw in another cool pin depicting the National Stadium (Bird's Nest). Nathan was ecstatic and wanted me to be sure and post this so that the folks traveling with us would know - especially Eileen - that he really did get the pin!
