The Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics the first winter Olympics to be held in a communist state. It ran its course peacefully, with no indication of what troubles lie ahead in the not too distant future. For all intents and purposes it was a very successful games, despite the Olympic flag being raised upside down during the opening ceremony [...]
London 2012 was incredible, simple as. The Olympic and Paralympic games created an atmosphere within London the likes of which I have never experienced before in my lifetime. The city and indeed Great Britain united and were rewarded by some amazing results from our athletes. Who will ever forget Super Saturday? Golden Saturday, whatever you [...]
The Olympics and Paralympics made this past summer one of the greatest in British history in my opinion. The buzz around the city was like nothing I personally have experienced before, even getting on the tube was bearable!

The artist that is Dan of AdventureswithDan.com recently wrote an interesting article about how he's sometimes an ignorant traveller, as no doubt we all are at times. Being British, I think its generally (and wrongly) anticipated that wherever we go, someone somewhere within our chosen destination will at least have a very basic grasp of the [...]
Did you get tickets? I didn’t (sad face). London’s a pretty busy place, but in a couple of months it’s going to got a whole lot busier, encase you hadn’t heard, we’re hosting the Olympics. It’s kind of a big deal. The main Olympic site in east London is well under construction, the tube (underground) [...]
As fares rise AGAIN in 2012, the London underground is obviously the place to be. The most luxurious and time efficient transport system in the world will have you whizzing around England’s capital city of London in no time at all, and all for just a teeny tiny fortune ... per day.
