Olympics!

Hello!
Watching the Olympics in a foreign country is a totally different experience than watching the games at home! The opening ceremonies aired live at about 6:00 am on Saturday morning. A big group of us woke up before the sun came up so we could watch the entire thing beginning to end! One of the girls that we have been hanging out with is from the UK so she was able to explain some of the meanings behind the things that were happening at the ceremony which was pretty cool! Its very weird watching the events and hearing Australian commentary and only hearing interviews with Australian athletes. People in our dorm (which includes both Australians and international students) gather in a common room called the cellar to watch the games. Its an interesting experience to watch the olympics with people from all over the world, each cheering for and supporting a different country!
Until next time,
Kimmy
