Well, that's it! The 2008 Beijing Olympics are over!
Of course, they will live on in the hearts of many for years to come.
The closing ceremony was intense, though I must say that I wish I had been able to attend the opening instead. Oh well! The tower of humans was most definitely one of the most amazing spectacles I have ever witnessed. My favorite part by far was when the performers turned into blooming flowers along the edge of the tower, opening and closing rapidly.
All of the Chinese in attendance at the event were emotional, though I did not see as many crying as during the opening ceremony.
Tonight, August 25/26th, was the fairwell party for OMEGA staff at the China Club. It was the first time that I was actually a guest of the club instead of part of the team running an event, so that was an interesting experience.
There was drinking, dancing, speaches, photographs being taken....all of that. I took a lot of photos with some of the hostess girls who work at the club because it is probably the last time that I will see most of them. Four girls asked me out of the club for a minute to take photos with them because they said they had never taken photos with a laowai before. I felt like a celebrity or something around them.
Anyway, the party was a lot of fun, and it is now 4:45am. I am going to bed. I have some climbing to do in the morning, as well as some job hunting and apartment securing.
All the best!
