Hi Atsuko.
Are you looking forward to hosting the Olympics? I was part of London 2012 and loved every minute of it.
Welcome to the Coffee House, don't be a stranger. (I sometimes need backup...)
When I was in Pendleton, Oregon, the roundup every year is a massive occasion. All the locals leave and rent out the houses for families for an exhorbitant amount and then come back home next week! It works out great ... you get your vacation paid for!
The Olympics will likely be madness, but Pendleton in 3 days would go from 14k to 50k and then Sunday night back to 14k. Craziest, fun'est and silliest, but very enjoyable.
