Every two years, the world’s finest athletes and their fans at home are welcomed into a foreign country and city to witness the premiere global sports competition. This invitation also provides a cultural glimpse into another part of the world. For many, watching the Olympics with family and friends over the years account for some excellent memories. Strangers are able to bond over the excitement of cheering on their country’s best prospects and the whole country tunes in to watch. Some lucky citizens may be able to arrange tickets and accommodations so that they may actually attend the games in person. In 2012, the games will be held in an English-speaking area, prompting many people going to the London Summer Olympics.
