From what I've heard there has been a fair amount of coverage criticising the Olympic Games in the UK. Well everyone in Great Britain, we just wanted to tell you that over here, where it's actually happening, the atmosphere is amazing and everyone is having a great time. The city centre streets are absolutely packed (with people, not cars) and there are queues five hours long for some exhibitions and events but everyone is being very good natured about it and treating it as part of the experince. We queued up for 2 1/2 hours to get into House of Switzerland on Saturday for a cheese fondue. I'm not boasting about it, but we did. But the fondue was excellent and it didn't take long to reinstate Switzerland as my number 3 team. We've had a great time at the actual Olympic events we've been to but its also easy to feel part of what's going on just by walking the streets. If London can create a similar atmosphere in 2012 they'll be doing well.
