Now that the Olympics is over, so what's next, Beijing?
You have probably seen the Olympic Closing Ceremonies last night (or morning) and all I could is:
"Zhang Yimou is the master of flying here and there. It was a performance showcasing the best of Chinese acrobats, flexibility and agility. And the rest was just like the usual big variety show that we see on TV during Chinese New Year's Eve. Nevertheless, I was floored and awed by the grandiose closing performance. This Olympic is definitely China's time to shine, be heard, be seen and be talked about!"
Photo below:
This man was Rollerblading around the Olympic Park to the entertainment of everyone. He was such a celebrity. He stood there for a long time with tourists taking pictures of him and with him. This is such a brilliant idea! I dunno how he buried all those needles on his head. ;))

These men were looking from the gate outside the venue of the football match. I wish I could give each of them a ticket.

At 10:40 PM, when my friends and I are on our way to the subway from the Water Cube, we saw this man sleeping on top of the Coca Cola box. He's the Olympic Park street cleaner. He must have been tired doing his rounds.

Five meters from where the man above was sleeping, is this girl giving instructions to people which direction we should all take going to the subway.

I was astonished by the Chinese's great performance in the various sports events and the success of the opening and closing ceremonies... This was such a impressive and memorial Olympic Game and it set a high and a new standard for the coming....
I appreciated your continous reportage of the scenes, stories and people that we can't see in the TV... Really thanks. Very nice and down-to-earth reportage recently :) Keep it up Man !
I'm sad to see it come to an end! I really enjoyed your reporting of the Olympics - the human view. I really just kept smiling throughout this set. My favorite is #17. Wonderful work! :)
