The Olympics started two weeks ago, sadly enough it’s coming to an end… We’re watching the gold medal hockey game right now (Canada – USA). I’m so stressed out, I can’t watch:). We really hope they’re going to win!

It definitely was an exciting couple of weeks.
It started of with a flashmob I’ve participated in. It is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse. Together with a some friends I started practicing the dance a couple of weeks before the actual event. Because there were more than 2000 people attending, it wasn’t the most spontaneous flashmob, but it was definitely good fun!

Here’s a little video:



We went to see the Olympic Cauldron which was really exciting. It’s big!!
