Come on, you don't need that much money to get to all three venues. ;)

I'm definitely going to Vancouver in 4 years. Not quite sure about Beijing or London. :headscratch:

I have no idea why I skipped Salt Lake....oh yeah, it was Salt Lake.

Oh yeah, did someone tell Bode Miller to show up in Torino?

Olympics ended. Sweden beat Finland 3-2 in men's hockey final :bleh: Japan only got 1 medal, but they sure picked the right one.Omedeto goziamasu Arakawa san :victory: [/list:u]

I just hope the Vancouver opening ceremonies won't be anything like whatever you want to call that 8 minute 'show' for Vancouver at the Torino closing ceremonies

I guess this thread will slowly sink into the sunset until it's resurrected in two years... ;)

Shall I keep it alive with all the updates from Beijing and Vancouver as they build venues and what not?? :hehe:
