Farewell Beijing!

What an amazing 16 days! Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt... need I say more? And as an ethnic Chinese, I am very proud of the Chinese athletes, especially the weightlifting team who almost swept the event with 8 golds and a silver. As a Canadian citizen, we exceeded expectations with 18 total medals, 6 more than what we had in Athens. And as a Hong Kong native, well, HK didn't get any medals but it was great to be in Hong Kong during these olympics and to share the spirit with its 7 million inhabitants.

Many world records were broken over the past 2 weeks (maybe the smog helped, haha), and the controversies leading up to the event are nothing but a footnote to an otherwise highly successful olympics.

Kudos to Beijing for hosting such a spectaclar event. Looking forward to London 2012! In the meantime, I think I am done with watching tv for a while and get back to normal life, LOL
