Anyone going to the Olympics this year in London? If you are which events will you be attending? If you aren't going, which events are you looking forward to?

Have you ever been lonely as an °µÍø½ûÇø? by hutkgjf

Moving to London From the US by dvhutton1
I am a chef in Atlanta, Ga wishing to see the world. It has been recommended, London. Sounds great, and from what I hear London is an awesome place. So, I know very little about England. Just started to look up how to make it happen. Got Visa info, ...
