London Olympics 2012

The Olympics are here back again after four years. I'm not a big sports fan, but I happen to like the Olympics. The main reason is, the whole world feels like one big united family, even if it's for two weeks.

I got up Saturday morning to watch the opening ceremony live. It was a good show, showcasing the best of the brits. The best was Mr. Beans appearance, in the orchestra and in the Chariots of Fire montage. I also loved the concept of the main Olympic torch. constructed of separate petals of sorts, representing each participating country. Each country brought in the part while coming in the parade and the torch was constructed as they came in. Beautiful.

You can watch the full broadcast here.

Cheers!
