At first I honestly thought it was a well-played joke to make fun of the Beijing Olympics, but when I found out there was actually a real website that they flashed on the TV, I went on my cousin's computer to see the site. It amazed me not only how well organized the events were, but some of the sports that I saw samples of were things I have never seen before. One in particular that really sparked my interest was Pencak Silat. I have never seen anything like that. The stipulations, endurance, and time consumption of this event reminds me a lot of a 12-hour Rogaine event. Of course they're two totally different types of events, but the skill set of such an athlete was my premise for comparing the two. From what I've read about the Asian Beach Games, it seems that everything turned out to be a raving success. Congratulations to the hosting country, the 6,000 + athletes that participated, and all of the volunteers and promoters for making something on such a scale turn out just as planned if not exceeding it.
