Anyone interested?

I enjoy them, esp the running events.

I'm curious. Not strongly interested. Some sports are interesting. Running, swimming, soccer, basketball.
Let's see who will be the big heroes. And no doping, please!

Although I never had any real interests in any of the Olympics, last night I had the privilege to "attend" the opening ceremony at one of the hippiest bars at London's Soho district. Nevertheless to say, I enjoyed every bit of it. The air with all the proud Englishmen getting more and more drunk and joyful (incl. me), plus some real nice beautiful girls on either on my sides with some great clubmusic playing to the screen just made it an unforgettable night for me. Then the astonishment of the Queen's acting skills came in Danny Boyle's great direction also earned a shattering "whoooaahh" from the crowd inside. And the streets, well they were just boiling as I was stepping outside to have one of my Marlboros taken. Lucky me.

These great competitions and celebrations are unique occasions. If you have oportunity you better take advantage.
Sometimes it only has a complete meaning some years after.

Lucky you Buda

Are you staying a little more in the UK? If so, enjoy!

Yeah, just moved over here to continue doing my job in retail and it goes pretty well, so I deserved to have some good-time finally.

I'm always hoping to see major upsets, I always back the underdogs... unless they are competing against NZ that is. hehe

Buda hope you enjoy London, I did.

Been watching the equestrian events. They are taking part, just down the road from where I lived. I used to go to that park at least once a week. It's making me all nostalgic.
