In reply to mikesiva

I enjoyed the opening ceremony .....

Guyana has a Hakka restaurant plus

Chinee cake, pow, lap chung

Guyana does not have Winter and Guyanese don't care for these games

There are a few exceptions though

We do enjoy Sno Kone, Demico and Nifty's ice cream though

Nuff doping in the Winter Olympics.

Germany win gold in the men's luge.

Now, that's a lunatic sport! Sliding down the ice at 70mph on a tea tray!

Kobayashi of Japan gold in the men's individual normal hill ski jumping.

In reply to mikesiva

I like the "luge" reminds me of primary school days sliding down hill on a coconut tree leaf, a khaki pants would last a week !

In reply to mikesiva

Luge may be wild but skeleton is madness!

First time in many years Bermuda didn't enter an athlete.

I was talking with some people about that the other day. Yes, sliding down the hill covered in turmeric (tambric) leaves on the coconut bough (bubba) was so much fun.

When you get home with the (khaki) pants bottom gone, the whipping was unavoidable. But guess what happens the next day.

In reply to camos

You use to do that too – we use to do that but if memory serves we did that after a big rain shower ---- I had forgotten all about that.
