Home at last

We'll after my 3 plans from one side of the world to the other a find myself in thunderBay with my family looking at the most beaufitul little boy ever...my nephew soren. I now have to start training for my 3 day stage race in haliburton so i will post the news on that after that weekend wich is the weekend of the 13th!!!

By for now

Volley Ball Tourney

This was one of the coolest things i have ever done i think...NBC set up a volley ball tourney with 12 teams from NBC and we got to use the actual beach volleyball courts, 3 warm up courts and the finals court as we'll...IE the one that was broadcast around the world. Our team named the Splice Girls made it to the final court..allthough by the time the final game rolled around most of our team was too drunk to be affective and we succum to our own love for beer...lol. It was one of the greatest nights ive had hear or ever in my life so take a look at the pics!!!

Strike

We'll i finally have daily internet allthough more expensive i have it! we have been striking events for about a week and half now and tomorrow will be one of last days for striking, we still have a days at the field shop to finish everything but we are on the home stretch. Strike has gone really we'll but the crew is tired you can feel it in the air that we are all at the end. Allthough we are still in great spirits but we are all looking forward to getting home i think. Take a look at some pics!

Soren

We'll as of this morning at about 1:30 China Time, my sister gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I wish i was there and havn't had a chance to talk to her yet, but i have seen picture and naturally he is the cutest thing on two small feet. So every one i am officially an UNCLE and couldn't be any prouder. His name is Soren, and we have so much to take care of... from building rope swings to the perfect toboggan run but you can't tell mom cause it will ruin the whole system.

Can't wait to get home to meet you Soren, So hello from your uncle in beijing China!!!!

Closing Ceremonies

We'll the olympics are officially over, i was luckyt enough to be on the field during the closing ceremonies...yes ON THE FIELD and i have pictures to prove it...lol. it wasn't as good as opening but it was cool to have the seat that i did. a lot shorter and a lot more talking, and the atmosphere has allready changed this place feels quite again. Most of the venues have been torn out and all the workers have gone, we are now on the last venue and our biggest venue to tear out and then we are done. we move from the media village friday morning back over to the continental grande hotel which is were i started my journey in China. Most of my friends have now left and its pretty much just the cable crew that remains! Allthough i am ready to come home there is a part that will miss china, its this prefect utopia at the olympics, were everyone loves there job loves each other has lots of money and is always happy. It is a very unique situation that if feel is so rare to experience let alone be part of and i was right in the thick of it. I feel blessed but sad that it will all come to an end next friday and i will be back on my plane home to ontario. But i can't wait to see my family and someone else that im sure i will grow to love if i havn't allready by the time i get there!!!!

Crocs Part 2

We'll I got off the bus today and headed straight for the lotus determined to get my crocs there, i passed the electronics, through bulk sales stands almost got caught up at the chicken feet and there i was standing right in front of the crocs with 400 Yuan in my pocket they were mine...i could feel it i was finaly getting my crocs. Then i realized they all looked a little small so i started trying them on different ones in different colors but nothing would fit!!! finally a young chinese lady walked up behind me looked at my feet and demonstrated that there were no sizes that would fit me. Once again i was not gonna get my crocs...so i settled for the toe sandles beside that now hurt when i walk in them..lol. China just doesn't want me to have crocs!!!! bahhhh

Besides that i just got my notice that i will be working the closing ceremonies tomorrow. So im super pumped about that cause it will be an awesome show im sure. Anyways i have to stop writting and get ready for work because i am going to beach volley ball and then tianeman square. Oh and i had the best thai food last night at a place called serve the people in salitun in the Chaoyang district and it was great!
