"One more year to the 2012 London Olympics. We promise to present the extraordinary event for athletes and visitors. We will also welcome the lovers of sports and youth around the world," said British Ambassador Martin Hatfull in Jakarta, Wednesday, July 27, 2011.

On occasion, Hatfull and President of Indonesian Olympic Committee, Rita Subowo open a countdown clock to the 2012 Olympics. This marks exactly one year to the third Olympics that was held in London. Previously, London hosted the Olympics in 1908 and 1948.

"The tradition and modern creativity Britain would have fused into a fantastic experience. We are ready to host a successful Olympic Games in London, a fantastic celebration of sport," said Harfull.

When asked about the target Indonesian contingent at the 2012 Olympics, Rita said, "In Beijing last, there are 24 athletes from seven branches. For London, we'll lose more than 50 athletes and seven branches. We should maintain only one gold from badminton. We will also try to win a medal from the other branches, although not easy."

I tried to sleep off and on last night with a little bit of a sore throat. Now it hurts to swallow. I am so excited for five hours of teaching. 

Just realized I never put up a single picture from the field day.
It wasn’t in Yongsan, but actually just around the river bend at Camp Walker.
It was really intense & some of the games (like “kick your shoe into the air” or “put your head on the bat & spin around & try to do an obstacle course) were mayyybe a bit too dangerous for the kids, but all in all it was fun.

As you can see, the blue group is best.
