as you may know, the opening ceremony was yesterday & it went off without a hitch. there was a big firework display in the harbour which we could easily see/feel from our house.
we have just been for a walk through town & it is BUZZING!
some people aren't so excited about certain aspects of the olympic games & today they staged a protest. some of the protesters got the wrong memo or something & dressed up as ninjas & wrecked & vandalised some store-fronts and properties, which, if you are to make a point about money being wasted, doesn't make a whole lotta sense. eh. these are some repair trucks.
we also visited the olympic torch which was very crowded but a grand sight!
what is hobo speed? i did google it but only came up with information about the hobo spider....'The hobo spider runs at an average speed of about 0.45 meters (17 inches) per second....'
ReplyDeleteI later found out it has a maximum speed of 1.1meters per second!
