Goodbye Olympic

By Jian Shuo Wang on 2008-08-26 22:56 · Sports

Olympic closes with not an not-as-fancy-as-opening closing ceremony, but it didn’t affect my love to Olympic, or my enjoyment of the Games. Several changes to me:

It promotes sports. I started to pay attention to sports and get involved more than before.
My favorate sports in the Games are: volleyball, table-tennis, bench volleyball, 3m springboard, and running.
In the last week, I swimmed, I played table-tennis, and I played beach volleyball. I believe it must be because of the impact of the Olympic on me.
I enjoy the whole process of the Game. Because it is the first time in the recent years for the Game to have the same time zone, I can get updates from the game consistently throughout the day, and I am used to tune to TV when I am at home, or tune to the right radio station on the road.
The first two days without Olympic are boring. I just feel I am lack of information now.

Looking forward to the London Olympic!

I read a newspaper article that basketball is really catching on in China, especially the NBA.

I went into depression after the closing ceremony, now turning to watch KTSF programs, some are in chinese with english captions.

What a great Olympics! Shame i didn't get over to Beijing for it, or to the events here in Shanghai, but still enjoyed those few weeks. I hope to be back living in London in time for the next one, though am worried it will simply not be as good!

I have only recently found your Shanghai blog, very interesting, and plenty of content too. Hope to get some useful advice, as i am relatively new to this city :-)
