IT'S FINAL!

TOKYO will bid for 2016 OLYMPICS!

It was decided yesterday by the JOC and Tokyo won over Fukuoka.

Tokyo is a busy metropolis.....so is Fukuoka,

a southwestern Prefecture located in Kyushu,

the second-largest island in Japan next to Honshu.

Honshu is where I am right now, so is Tokyo.

***

Tokyo may be a nice location, but I wonder how

they will manage to contain all those tourists and athletes in a metropolis

whose main problem is arena, arenas, and more arenas...

Wala nang lugar dun, noh?

***

But then, the proponents of Tokyo must have other things in mind.

Tokyo once hosted the Olympics in 1964....the first in Asia, I believe.

***

Personally, I'd like it to be held in Fukuoka.

WHY?

While it is considered a little laid-back than Tokyo,

it has its international airports already placed since a decade or so.

It boasts of areas still undeveloped, and I heard that the place is real good....

I have passed by Fukuoka several instances in the past,

but never had the opportunity to stay and savor the surrounding areas.

It was on my way to MIYAZAKI-ken during the funeral services of Jiji's mother,BAA-chan.

***

A compadre-friend has business affiliation there and

the place several times a year to check on his import business.

He says the place is better,business-wise than Osaka.

I really have noooo idea.

***

But just for a change of scenery, sana.....

***

Anywayz, the JOC has voted and

Tokyo will make a bid in the next meeting of the IOC.

Here's wishing all the best to the promoters.....
