Sad that while we celebrate here people are a bit unhappy in Tokyo, Madrid and Chicago although I'm sure it'll be forgotten soon... worse are the areas where natural disasters hit in Southeast Asia and Oceania and the casualties and losses don't cease to grow. Not fair!

I didn't want it in Chicago. From what I hear, it is always a nightmare for the host city, and I don't think we can afford building a whole new complex at the moment...

(BTW - Glasgow in Scotland has the 2014 Commonwealth games)
I am looking forward to that. We need both jobs and half naked female beach volleyball players here in Glasgow. That would give the foxes something to watch.........

I'm quite happy about Rio getting it for a few reasons. First, this is the first time for South America. Second, I'm in the same time zone so I can watch the games live. Third, all other countries hosted an Olympic games in recent history And last but not least are the multitudes of good-looking Brazilian ladies bound to make many appearances on camera.
