The London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony

7/29/2012

0 Comments

 
I was lucky enough to have tickets for the Opening Ceremony for the London 2012 Olympics.

I'll produce a post about it later with photos and a video link but I just wanted to comment on the fine city of London.

I have to say I was so impressed and proud of the organisation on that first day.  The army of volunteers that were at the stations were superb and the clear signs at the stations pointing to all things Olympic were impressive as well.  They must have helped visitors not used to London. 

The security went so smoothly it was unreal. I felt proud and safe to have the military dealing with it efficiently rather than some dodgy private security firm.
We felt awestruck and yet proud of the whole experience. 

I have uploaded a short video showing a few snippets of our trip to see the ceremony.  It cannot do it justice but it does give some idea about the sound levels and crowd reactions that I didn't really see on the TV coverage.
There was so much to take in and so much for the audience to do it defied belief.  The programme of events was not handed out until the last moment to keep the secrets.  The scale of the production was massive - I cannot quite believe the ambition in even attempting what amounts to a stage production on this scale.

I've started to get excited now . . . its only a couple of weeks before the Bundesliga 2. season gets underway!!!   Between now and then we have a little thing like the Olympics to keep us ticking over!
I've arranged to see some matches in the hinrunde already and hope to go to many more especially in the Rückrunde.
There are lots of Sunday matches in the Hertha home spielplan this year (see attachment) with a handful of Wednesday games.  Wednesdays are usually out of us but the Sundays are good.  Can't wait . . . . . .

Mission erfüllt !

Well, I braved the Hertha website in order to buy the season tickets for Hertha next season.

Thank you to the moral support and back up translation services from Oma - a bit lost with the technology but hey, she stepped up to the plate when it mattered!!

I now just really hope they land on our door mat ready for the Paderborn game. I will cry if something goes wrong and we have to chase over Berlin working out where they are!

Fingers crossed all will be well - Ha Ho He

Tomorrow is the first day that people who did not have season tickets for the 2011/12 season or who are not members can buy Hertha season tickets for this season.

I'm going to give it a stab in the morning. I will have Oma standing by in case a combination of my German and Mr Google lets me down - which is quite likely!!

Fingers crossed!
