The Olympics are now over, but my adventures continue. You can continue following my travels in Asia here.

The opening ceremony for the Paralympics was held last night in Beijing. The ceremony was spectacular but perhaps not on the scale of the ceremony for the Beijing Olympics. Most of the show was performed by people with disabilities, including Li Yue, who lost her left leg in the Sichuan earthquake and performed [...]

The Beijing Paralympics are just a day away from starting. Here are some pictures from Tiananmen Square which has some pretty impressive floral displays on show now.

The ticket scammers who defrauded people by selling non-existent tickets through the internet are getting ready for the Vancouver and London Olympics. “I was shocked by the brilliance and hard work of the thieves fleecing the Olympic family — and they are setting up to do the same thing in Vancouver in 2010 and London in [...]

The closing ceremony has gotten under away. The introduction was interesting, perhaps people will say it is a little “North Korean’esque”. The athletes are entering the stadium and I can only imagine the thrill it must be to be able to walk into the stadium at the end of the games. [...]

'Dual gold medallist Michael Diamond can breathe a sigh of relief on Monday after his Olympic nomination was finally rubber-stamped by the Australian Olympic Committee.
After surviving a personal court case, missing the Olympic trials, travelling around the world to qualify and then fending off a legal appeal, Diamond is now officially a member of the 2004 Olympic team.' Source - Diamond confirmed on Olympic team
I think Mice is cool.
