Went to the Olympic park yesterday to watch the Spain vs South Africa hockey match. Arrived early and spend the day walking around with friends. The atmosphere was excellent and critics of the games should, if they can, turn up and see what's it all about.
On the other hand I strongly objected to the over commercialisation of the event. I do not accept that McDonald's should have two massive and prominent buildings right in the middle of the park. In addition I do not see why Visa should be allowed to have stands telling the world that the Olympics organisers are proud to have them there? Absolute disgrace and the wrong picture and message to send out to the whole world. Is Britain the land of MacDonalds? I find that wrong.
But apart from that the day was great and the atmosphere fantastic the place to meet people you would never meet before and make new friends.
