Going home with lasting memories

For Briton Larry Teague, the past two weeks of the Olympics was all about the world converging in Beijing to celebrate as one.

Watching the closing ceremony of the Games on the big screen in a bar in the capital's embassy area last night, the 62-year-old retiree said Beijing had done "a really good job" in hosting the Games.

"I am more lucky than most of my compatriots back home because they didn't have the chance to see the Games from this close," Teague said.
