     It was a long process that involved creating a resume, submitting an online application (申請) and
attending a round of interviews. Naturally Tan Kaiyin, a 21-year-old student is excited when she was
selected, as more than 660, 000 people signed up to volunteer at the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou,
but only less than 10 percent were finally chosen to work in the venues and wear the white and green
sport uniforms.
     Like in any major sporting event, volunteers play a vital role in assisting with operations and Tan's
function here is not any different. She is based at the Garden Hotel and is tasked with helping guests and
officials who have issues with their accreditation cards (注冊卡). "I deal with guests from all over the
world, I have never met so many international people and it is very, very exciting to have this opportunity
to interact with them. They come to the office because they need to make a change in their accreditation
card and usually they are in a hurry, so we try our best to get it done quickly."
     She admits the first few days involved extremely long hours, however she likes the challenge as it
gives her an immense sense of satisfaction especially when an irate guest turns a frown into a smile and
says "thank you".
     Tan deals with people from different cultures and personalities and feels she has learned so much in
the past week, an experience that she would have never gotten if not for the Guangzhou Asian Games,
therefore she is very happy and grateful for being a part of this. She also has kind words for her
managers and fellow colleagues and says the hard work and positive atmosphere has bonded them into
a family. She enjoys her responsibilities so much that she is afraid of feeling lost when the Games finally
end on Nov. 27.
     However, she is aware of all the positive effects the Games have had on Guangzhou. From
improvements to air and water quality to better transportation and infrastructure in the city, but most
importantly to her is the fact that the Asian Games has placed Guangzhou prominently onto the world
map. This, she believes, will encourage people from all over the world to continue visiting her city, and
this in turn will give the residents of Guangzhou a fantastic opportunity to continue learning about different
cultures. The official Asian Games Volunteer Slogan is, "Together, we can make it better!" Indeed it
seems they can.
