The Olympics

Since you guys have been so interested in me going to the olympics I have decided to tell you what it was like actually visiting the grounds and the stadium!  I hope that this answers most of your questions.

When I visited the stadium it was absolutely packed and my family and I sometimes got lost and had to regroup at certain points throughout the park (tho is why I suggested that we bring a walkie-talkie with us)!  The grounds were full of different people and the different flags and different areas of the park was amazing but unfortunately we didn't get into any event since the seats were all booked out and when we managed to watch it on TV there were heaps of missing people in the seats.  I think it's a scam!  The ticket prices are also really expensive and it costs sometimes up to $200 a ticket and that's only for a child sometimes!  When we did watch the Olympics though we watched it on TV and the England coverage is really good, there is something called the red button on the TV that lets you choose what event you want to watch.  It's really efficient!  The best thing that I got from the Olympics (gift wise) was a keyring with the London 2012 symbol on it, that was given to me by our friends.

I hope that this answers most of your questions and keep the questions coming!  (Not too many though!)
