The End of The Olympics

16 days passed by very quickly and i only had a chance to watch several games, which was a pity. my fav games were women's v-ball and men's b-ball, both of which i also played in high school.

to make the most of what was left of the olympics, i tried to catch the men's b-ball final, spain vs u.s. it so happens that when i was walking by times square, one of the jumbotrons were broadcasting the game. so i sat down by the sidewalk and caught the first quarter with a bunch of guys who were also trying to skip shopping at times squares with their beloved other half.

it was getting hot so i went to a cafe near by to watch the rest of the game. this cafe was one of those upstairs cafes, 7 to 8 tables, owned by two young ladies. so i enjoyed the rest of the game on the minitron with my company, a glass of jasmine green tea (i would have ordered a beer but unfortunately they didn't have a liqueur license). so this was my way of bidding farewell to the 2008 olympics - watching u.s. defeat spain in the men's b-ball final.
