The Olympics start soon! Get excited! As an international event we can all be excited about this. What are you hoping to see? What event do you want your country win?

Personally I'm excited to see the opening ceremony, since every year it gets better and better. And of course, I want to see the United States take the Gold in swimming, hopefully Micheal Phelps will shatter some more world records this year.

All the news here in the UK has been about how much stuff they've messed up so far lol. Massive queues at the airports, main road from the airport to London closed for repairs, the contractor used for security tried to keep costs down and so there aren't enough security personnel and the police and army are being drafted in to make up for it. Even one of the torches went out during the relay, so totally expecting the opening to be a disaster but hope not.

Me going to London for my internship in two weeks, personally, I think it sucks.

Haha it's all the news over there. I've seen two documentaries about how people have been evicted so that landlords can over charge their rent during the Olympics. Hotel prices are disgustingly higher then they should be. I dread to think what the London Underground is going to be like: JAM PACKED! I love the idea of the Olympics but for someone like me who regularly enjoys going to London every once in a while, I shall be avoiding the city like the plague this summer.

Do not want. There's loads of places in my town ready to rent for the Olympics, actually. (Ridiculously expensive! Something like £1500 + p/w <-- more than my rent a month D: )
I WAS MORE EXCITED WHEN WIMBLEDON WAS ON :(

@Gaston, I hope your internship goes well :D

NONE OF THESE POSTS ARE ABOUT THE ACTUAL OLYMPICS. (Also 1500 plus power and water? Lol in the US living in a city is 2000+ USD a month, can only imagine what it's like in huge cities like NYC).

Just gone into Winchester today and there's loads of banners around the city saying LONDON 2012. Lots of decorations too. The country's about to go mad for the Olympics... I'll get a picture later of what the city looks like.

I'm just wondering what else will go wrong. We'll see at the opening ceremony I guess.

The opening ceremonies were SO amazing!! The beginning portion showing the agricultural beginnings of the UK and the industrial revolution was so amazing.

Can't wait for swimming to start tomorrow!
