Loot I got from Beijing 2008 volunteer work:
3 sports jerseys
2 pairs of ill-fitting pants
1 pair of sneakers
a windbreaker jacket
a fanny pack
a hat
a notebook
a binder
a bunch of pins
5 power bands

Not only did I get this, it seemed like half of Beijing got this loot. A taxi driver was bragging about how the people with more connections got *10* shirts. But really, I didn’t need all that stuff … after all, I did pay for the flight and the room and board out of my own pocket. What I wanted was the experience.
