This week Kaohsiung is playing host to the Taiwan National Games so I took the opportunity to go watch a swimming competition. It was mildly interesting. I could pick out a few words over the loud speaker and one or two of the characters on the message board - 100 m of some stroke, women, what city the swimmer was from. Like many second-tier sorts there were more competitors and support staff than there were spectators.

They were very efficient with running the meet. Women, men, awards, next event. 

It reminded me of the many gymnastics meets I went to to watch my lovely niece Cady compete. Organized and well run.

Speaking of Cady, happy birthday!
