China Offers Olympic Visitors Packing Tips


Organizers of the Beijing Olympics released their "Spectators' House Rules" today, aiming to keep order during the August Games as well as protect the hosts from embarrassing incidents, the London Times reports. For starters, babies are discouraged but not forbidden. Other dos and don'ts:

Permitted:

Umbrellas ("In Beijing we prefer to avoid the sunlight," says an organizing committee official)
Small quantities of lip gloss, fountain pens, and sunscreen

Not permitted:

Banners, especially Tibetan flags
The “f-word”
Pets (service dogs are OK)
Streaking
Drunkenness
