The Olympic Village

The Olympic Village...only words like Amazing, Unbelievable, Sensational and incredible could describe it! The village is very well planned out. It contains buildings that are many stories high and save space with the hundreds of countries that are staying here! I'm staying in a building that is 9 stories high, and I'm on the ninth story! The penthouse suit as I like to think of it, even though it's identical to the 8 stories below! Australia takes up almost two whole buildings. I'm opposite the other Aussie building which is only 6 stories high. The village contains many of these building plus water features, entertainment lounges, two dining halls, a Forrest, a pool, a gym, a theater and many interesting gardens and features. It's very clean, detailed and has thousands of volunteers whom each speak English! The Australians have set out a nice grassed area with tables, chairs and plasma TVs which show channel 7 live!
Our rooms are great! I'm sharing a room with Shona and we hit the jackpot! Our room is the only one with its own bathroom and balcany. The other four girls have to share a bathroom between them and they have no balcany!
The day after we arrived, we went to get all of our uniform! Past olympians have told me it's like 'Christmas".....but let me tell you now, I've never recieved that many clothes for Christmas! Infact, even if you add up my past 18 christmas's, I still wouldn't have recieved as much as I did that day! And after we had recieved our 2 suitcases worth, volenters took them off us, and the next we saw of them was when we arrived back in the village and they were already in our rooms! I'm telling you, the volenters ar fantastic here! What ever you need, they can do it!
