mesdames et messieurs, la flame d'olympique jeunesse

i actually liked the yog opening ceremony. the colors, the lighting, the reflecting pool concept and that phoenix on the sce boat. the containers were cool and the spiralling flame from the lower air intake in the lighthouse mock up was awesome. except i dont think its wise to publicize the amount of gas required in tough times like this when everyone is about being green. the songs were cheesy but the huge monsters the only thing thats realy overboard.

i thought the whole yog sucked from what my friends said but at least the ceremony was good. it was a good wayang, but i hope it didnt cost too much. i mean the original budget for it was like 75mil, but its 387mil isit or something? taxpayers money. it better have the spin off, because the athletes arent worth that much in themselves.

anyway about the food provided to volunteers. i think it is absolutely understandable that volunteers do not get athlete level food. but we must note that these arent all true volunteers, they probably got banged about more so they angst harder and complain more. the thingis not about whether volunteers should be provided with food,but that if food is going to be provided, why provide such lousy unbalanced diet? i daresay that actually wet vegetables can be provided. just use those saf ration boxes and bags. the compartmentalized ones so that nothing really spills. is it that difficult? maybe can get cqs from iti to do ration. damn top quality la even can ice the fruits for them. and anyway the food can be kept for 4h in unopened ration bags, by saf standards, and i dont think it is that difficult anyway to gauge the food consumption time, cos they arent even on some assault mission, they are at very urbanized locations and the schedules can more or less be gauged.
