A few pointers assuming it was your camera. Going to auto white balance (or daylight setting) should make the outdoor shots less washed out, and even if there's plenty of ambient light, set the camera to force a flash to light the face when shooting people in brimmed hats.

Interior shots look great. Looks like you're having a good time.

Given their experience with SARS, how are the locals reacting to the swine flu news?

Nice... Hey, we know you ran on the track while you were in the "Nest" because you just couldn't resist following in the Olympians' steps, so just get it over with and tell us how you did in the 400m... :-)

Use the camera's flash in those shots to help fill in the lighting on your face (unless you want to travel incognito :-)
