2008 Asian Beach Games Photos
The Big Picture posts more superb photos, this time of the 2008 Asian Beach Games held about a month ago in Bali, Indonesia.

Intended to promote sports and culture, the games (held every two years) encourage tourism, support local economies and allow host countries like Indonesia to present a more global face to the world.

The 2008 games brought 6,000 athletes to compete in 71 events in 19 sports. Sports included well-known games like beach volleyball and triathlon, and some sports better known to asians, like sepak takraw, kabaddi and pencak silat.
