London

London has been in the media spotlight this week: firstly it was the Live 8 concert (which was wicked!) at Hyde Park and today London won the 2012 Olympic bid.

Despite it's unreliable tubes and pollution, I've grown to love London with its people and the 'buzz of the city'.
Even after 5 years in London I'm still discovering new spots around London which is great. My fav part of London is the London Eye.The view of London Eye in the shuttle on a clear day is spectacular.

We heard London won the Olympic bid in the office around 12.45pm via the help of some of my colleagues who logged onto the BBC website to hear the live telecast. After the announcement we saw the Red Arrows team fly over our office...spectacular display! Celebrations had already started early at Trafalgar Square and they will still be partying throughout the night.

The majority of us were pleasantly surprised although there were still a few pessimists who think London can never host the event.

Maybe they will finally fix the London public transport ( long overdue! ) once and for all.
I don't know whether I will still be in London in 2012...but it will be interesting to see how the city will be transformed in the next 7 years..... Let's hope the change will be for the better..
