Heading home from Beijing
August 29, 2008
Just moments away from heading down from the apartment here in Beijing and off to the airport to catch a flight to Australia.
It has been an interesting month in Beijing which of course included the Olympics. They may have been the best run Olympics but I still feel the Sydney Olympics were the fans Olympics. It just had a better feel.
In Beijing apart from seeing the banners everywhere you did not get the same buzz as I experienced in Sydney. I guess if I spoke Chinese it may have been different. In Sydney you could see Olympic tourists everywhere, in Beijing I got excited when I saw just one.
I have to say it has been a good experience and one I will not forget in a hurry. Now gotta get through the four long years until the London Olympics.
At least in the world of sport there is always plenty happening. I hope you have enjoyed reading my posts while I have been here in Beijing.
What will basketball coach Tom Maher do next?
