Let's imagine...

Which city do you think has the best chance of winning ?!

On our opinion, we think that Madrid has a lot of chances of winning the Olympics 2016. Madrid has enough built venues for the Olympic games, they have to spend $ 40.4 mill. on everything, that's the costs for Madrid. And for the rest of the candidate cities the budget is much more. In fact, we did research during our class and you can tell that all conditions (accomodation, venues, olympic village, costs and etc.) are almost ready to host the olympics 2016 in Madrid.

Which city do you honestly think has the best proposal ?!

Every city has a lot of perspectives in winning the Olympics 2016. But, if to count all fact that we have gathered, seems like Madrid has more chances to host the Olympics 2016. It is a beautiful city right in the middle of the Europe.

Is hosting the Olympic Games good for a city ?!

Good part of it is that the city will definitely make a lot of profits from managing the Olympics. It's going to help develope every single district in the city, to build new venues that you can use for other big events after the Olympics. People around the world will find out some new info about this city and country in general. It is going to be a good improvement for tourism.

But worst part of it is not many local citizen of each cities would prefer to see the Olympics in their own town. People would rather see that their taxes would go on future projects like new school, hospitals, parks and etc. It means that City budget has to spend a lot money on Olympics but not for thier citizens.

Which city has the best website ?!

Personally, I think Chicago2016 website is really comfortable in searching any kind of information. Esspecially, you can check any location of the sport event or any kind of Olympic venues. http://chicago2016.org/

Which city has the best logo ?!

Rio has the most interesting and unforgetable design of logo for the Olympics 2016

Which city would like to see win ?!

We think Tokyo is the perfect city for hosting the Olympics 2016.

Just For Comparison

Some information about temperature in perspective Olympic cities:

Chicago average temperature in Summer is 85F and Rio average temperature is 90F.
Tokyo average temperature in summer is 86F and Madrid average temperature is 80F.

Therefore, the coolest city in Summer is Madrid and Tokyo is hotter then Chicago. The hottest city in Summer is Rio.

Let's check average price on hotels in different cities.

Chicago average price in five star hotel is going to be around $500.
Rio will offer for the same class hotel $590 and in Madrid you are going to pay $665 per night.
Finally, Tokyo will offer $690.

Therefore, the cheapest fare for the room in five star hotel is in Chicago and the most expensive fare for the five star hotel is in Tokyo.

We had a amazing time which was field trip. It was our first hanging out, so everybody was excited and the weather was nice. We realized that Chicago has great potential to hold Olympic 2016. Firstly, we went to the Buckingham fountain (it suppose to be the heart of Olympics in Chicago). We were passing by Grand Park, where archery will literally take center stage in Grant Park(it will be temporary stadium for 8000 people and total costs for this project will be $10.9 million). Then we went straight down to the Northenly island, where we saw a lot of Olympic venues such as Soldier Field, it will again take center stage in the footballing world during the 2016 Olympic Tournament. Its capacity will be 61,500 people and total cost will be $2.4 million. Next venue is Mccomick Place where will be the international Broadcast center and Media press center. Also, it will be home for martial arts, volleyball games, basketball, handball, gymnastics and etc.

Exciting things about Japan !

Mt. Fuji is the Highest mountain in Japan (12,388 ft.)

It's still one of the active volcanos in the country. From the highest point of the mountain you can see amazing skyline of the Tokyo, beautiful sunset, and breathtaking view of clouds flying around the mountain. Mt. Fuji is one of the symbols of Japan. Perfect time for visiting is from 1st july till 27nd august.

Street Fashion is really popular in Japan. It's a mixture of traditional and current trends of fashion.

Young people would mix traditional Japanese clothing such as kimonos or geta sandals, with Western or local Japanese designs, even with punk clothing. These people were not brand obsessed like most Japanese people are known to be.
