Pretty sad list of cities. It was bad enough when the IOC sullied themselves by giving the Olymipics to Beijing, but an Olympics in Pyeongchang might be even worse. |
Hey, there ain't nothing wrong with Vancouver! It's a be-yoo-ti-ful city. And Salzburg! Oh, man, Salzburg has got class up the wazoo! Both cities would make fine hosts (Salzburg especially, in regard to transport and facilities).
Ah well, ANYTHING will be better than Salt Lake. Blech.

You have to be a big-time city to get on this list, although some cities have snuck in. How else would you explain St. Louis and Atlanta getting the games while New York and Chicago are left out in the cold?

, as if the regular olympics arn't 
enough...
if it were in the north, i would either a) not have seen it, b) not have returned to america, c) never been allowed into s korea again, or d) b and c.
i have to agree with this somewhat. i'd've never known about it had my relatives not taken me there when i visited two or three years ago. i still can't ski worth sh|t.
