London 2012, here I come!
Yup, yup. My most favorite city in the world is going to host the 2012 Olympic games! So very cool! When they announced 7:46 last Wednesday, I was jumping up and down! I'm hoping to watch...but I don't know which event yet really. By then I'll be living/studying in London. Hehe. (I hope.)
The only event I watch when the Olympics comes by is the swimming events. And that's bound to get boring once you're actually watching live. I wanna watch something exciting. Also, they're planning to build the stadiums and all those in the East End of London...which is pretty cool of them, since it's the poorest side of London. And it'll increase employment and all that stuff. But some businesses are actually worried that they may be wiped out once they start building the place.
Btw, other candidate cities for 2012, were Paris, Madrid, New York and Moscow.
But something unfortunate happened the day after, there were bombings in the London Underground, which killed more than fifty and injured hundreds. PM Tony Blair says he's sure that these were terrorist bombings. I just hope this never happens again.
On a lighter note, we've all seen the front cover of Half-Blood Prince, now check out the back:
