Olympics Departs

The 29th Olympic Games in Beijing is finally over, a true marvel to behold, and the Closing Ceremony on Sunday was just as spectacular as the Opening Ceremony! I cannot believe it’s over, I really enjoyed watching all the Olympic events and I’ve practically been up for 16 day straight… (-;

Surprisingly, Team GB did quite well and finished fourth on the Medal Table, and their achievements was such great momentum for the next Olympics; something I’m looking forward to. But, the only part I didn’t like about Closing Ceremony was the ‘Handover’ part to London at all, and I especially cannot believe that Brainless Boris is London Mayor and representing us. And I so hated the 8 min. or so London part of the ceremony: there’s so much more to London than a brand spanking new, ‘Transformers’ Red Bus, yobs, and David Beckham himself! Trust me…

London IS utterly a creative, humourous, funky, and edgy place to live that’s SO diverse, historic, and modern at the same time, and I strongly think London 2012 should use these things to build it into the Opening and Closing Ceremonies… That would be the dog’s bollocks! But, I hope they take note on this and not screw it up, and not make it embarrassing to be a Londoner like ‘Handover’ in Beijing.

Anyway, I can’t wait for the London 2012 Olympic Games b/c I really want to volunteer for the games and meeting people from all over world. And I think will just hopefully be a brilliant experience!

Olympics Arrives

The 29th Olympic Games in Beijing is here! On Friday, I watched the Opening Ceremony in Beijing, and I was utterly glued to the telly. It was so amazing and entirely spectacular!

Furthermore, the last two days I have been watching the coverage of the Olympics live on BBC, and it is very exciting.

I REALLY like the Olympic Games, and I think they are a fantastic way of many countries to come enjoy sports together in peace and for you to meet people from all over the world; and now I cannot wait for the London 2012 Olympic Games, as it will be only twenty minutes away from my home. That is if the London 2012 Olympic Delivery Authority gets their act together and stop keep increasing the budget by hundreds of millions of pounds that we, as London residents, are going to end up paying.
