Post by: emmy on August 29, 2004, 01:05:39 pm
Well, watching the olympics on a NYC station, I always end up seeing commercials advertising NYC's bid for the Olympics in 2012.  


Soooo... where do you think would be the best for Olympics in 2012?

Cincinatti was on the list originally, but that didn't work out. This came up at the dinner table last night, how coincidental. But, I would have to choose Paris!

While it sounds like it would be really awesome to have it in NY in theory, I think it would be total caos and insanity. Just the convention this week is making everything nuts. For the olympics they plan to build a bunch of new stadiums  and all this crap there is no room for here. There is hardly room for people here.  Thats why we pay 2000/month to live in a closet!
I think if NY wins I will be going on a nice two week vacation somewhere else.
