Olympic village

Today, I finally visited Olympic village. I want to thanks to James for working very hard to get us in to the village!

Let us have a look what’s in there apart from the best athletes in the world!

I have been out and in to the Olympic park so many times, but I have absolutely no idea where is the Olympic Village. So we decided to take a Taxi and just go around the Olympic park to find out where it is.

I am very excited about this trip, and actually I am a little bit over worried that I can not get in as I don’t have the accreditation.
