The other day I went downtown to check out the Olympic Countdown Clock (by Swiss company Omega). So I took a picture, along with everyone else. I think some sort of press conference was going to be happening later that day because there was a podium and lots of tv cameras. But I didn't stick around for it because I had school things to attend to. But it was a beautiful day so I was glad I went down there. The city is much busier, more crowded. I haven't spotted any athletes yet (or maybe I have and just didn't know)but I saw some trainers/coaches wearing their country jackets. Opening ceremonies are tomorrow! And the torch relay is passing by my house today so I will be sure to take lots of pictures. Despite the fact that it is raining and projected to continue for a long time. That's what you get when you're in a moderate oceanic climate region. Come on, Olympics, you should have known that snow could have been a real issue. They're desperate for snow and are trucking it in and doing all sorts of things to make up for the warmer weather. Oh well, they'll muddle through. CHeck back later for a Torch Relay update!
