The fireworks are still going on over Beijing tonight as the olympics comes to a close. the closing ceremony wasn't as long as the first one and not as spectacular, but still very well done. We had a short section to mark the handover of the olympics from beijing to london. The closing ceremony has gotten under away. Te introduction was interesting perhaps, people will say it is a little "North Korean'esque". The athletes are entering the stadium and I can only imaggine the thrill it must be to able to walk into the stadium ate the end of the games.

Was it too cheesy? - Public transport in London gets a bed press without people adding to it in Beijing!
Some people commented in UK that the big red bus part of the handover to UK as a bit 'cheesy' and that people rushing to get on the bus painted a poor picture of the transport system in London! I think this was takling it all a bit too seriously as it as tongue in cheek and the London Olympics in 2012 will be a totally different animal from the massive spectacle of Beijing.
