So far, we have been getting acclimated to Gaungzhou and shooting/editing the days leading up to the start of the Asian Games on Saturday. Literally the only events that have been going on has been soccer. I am now on my fifth soccer match in the last three days. It's been ok, since I don't do much of it at home, but the poor guys from England have to be thinking they flew all the way to Asia to shoot the sport they see every day back home.
One of the things I am looking forward to though is once the games start I am going to be at two events a day or so. I think I am going to cover almost all the different events played here at the Asian Games. I went over to the Sepaktakraw Stadium today to check that out. The sport looks awesome. I have never seen it played live but talking to people who saw it in Doha they all said it's great.
Tomorrow, the Opening Ceremony will kick off the official start of the games. I am lucky enough to be able to attend (working of course) as I will be sitting down in the press tribune editing photos. The few people from Getty who saw the dress rehearsal said it might even be a better show than the opening in Beijing. I am taking a camera and will definitely blog about the show once it's done.
