4am

It's 4am now, and I am still somewhat wide awake.
I wonder if it's the adrenalin of the Men's Basketball quarterfinals or supper with some fellow volunteers that is keeping me awake.

I just can't believe how fast this whole Olympics experience is going to end, in another 3 days. It is an irony really - I was so mega unhappy at the start, but am enjoying every moment of it right now.

The Olympics is really a huge celebration of mankind. In an intense international event like this, you see the worst and the best in people. I am happy to have experienced both. Whilst discovering the meanest and most cynical of mankind in some journalists, I have seen the best of sportsmanship, patriotism, caring and sharing in the people here.
