Olympics

The Olympics are wonderful venue.  Its so amazing to what the human body can accomplish.  Its also wonderful to see the 204 different countries competing together.  No matter who wins, no matter who loses, it’s a great way to see a great part of humanity.

It is a shame they cost so much, especially in such a time of global recession, but they are fully worth it.  I do wish it was easier to catch certain events, as they only show a handful on the prime time rebroadcast of the Games at night.  Its funny to find myself rooting for my own home team, considering how I feel about this country, but I know they got it right, and all the Olympians all seem like great people.
