olymics! we all know that it started in greece. but did you know that so successful was the concept of olympics that every kingdom in europe incorporated "it" as a source of entertainment, a source of unity. this one is the statue of a man with a discus in hand ... and the arena in the background where the french version of olympics took place. down the years, olympics was perhaps the only thing that connected the fragmented europe together. and now, irrespective of individual differences, political turmoils, left wings, right wings and civil wars ... olymics still knits one fifty two countries into one piece of paper. i find this awesome, atleast the fact that a tradition that united europe once has reached so far as to bring the world together ciao!
