Joy Drop: Vast range of emotions at Beijing Games

Hello, hello! As fast as they began, the Olympics are drawing to a close. Among the most memorable events, there is high emotion. There have been moments of sadness and confusion, moments of grace and moments of shared jubilation … and snacks. Yes, food! I found it absolutely delightful that some athletes had stuffed some bite-size treats into their pockets after leaving the Olympic Village on the way to their events.
