Tuesday, November 30, 2010

11.30.10 - 2

You will be able to apply online at http://www.tickets.london2012.com or via a paper application form. Paper application forms will be available on high streets throughout the UK.

Unlike some other events, tickets will not be allocated on a first come, first served basis. The application window will be open for a set period of time, after which all applications will be considered equally. This means there is no advantage to submitting your application on the first day. With so many sports, venues and days to consider, we recommend you take your time and discuss your plans with family and friends before submitting your application.

Don't wait as space is already beginning to fill up for the most anticipated Olympics in decades.

Beijing becoming Civilized

Friday, February 08, 2008

The stats are getting better for the people of Beijing.  The 2007 results of the Renmin University's Civic Index show that spitting in public is down to only 2.5 % of the population from 4.9% in 2006.  Are these people just walking around in Saliva or what?  Or is it so hot, that the spit evaporates and fills the air with that fresh minty taste of Colgate? 

Some other great news involves queue jumping stats coming down.  Only 1.5% of the population admitted to skipping lines in 2007 which is down from 6% they year before.  I don't think these people want to be jumping in line in front of this Texan...during my stay in Paris for the Rugby World Cup in 2007, I found out that the French are also notoriously known for skipping queues, hence one of the reasons I will not be vacationing in Paris anytme soon.   

And last, but not least, littering fell to 2.9% in 2007 from 5.3% in '06.  Good to know that Beijing is on it's way to becoming a great place to visit during the 2008 Summer Olympics. 

Remember, You can stil get Summer Olympics tickets and great rates on 5-Star Beijing Hotel Rooms online at GreatAtlanticTravel.com.
