The Olympic Torch in Chengdu! (supposedly)

When I first arrived at the school and was shown into my apartment, I was also handed a notice:

Dear foreign teachers,

According to requirements of the Police Security Bureau, all people living in our school are required to stay in apartments on next Tuesday morning (5th August) from 0am to 12pm. Please do not arrange any business outside of campus on that period.

Sorry for any inconvenience! And thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Cultural Exchange Department

Apparently, just watching the Olympic torch is invite-only. Even though it will be passing right in front of our campus, I may not be able to see it unless they allow us to sit on the rooftop balconies.
