Giving into Olympic fever, I went out to visit Olympic Park in Seoul last weekend.

I’m always so divided on the Olympics.  I think it’s such a gigantic waste of money, but at the same time I can’t stop loving them.  In my heart I really, really wanted Chicago to win the bid for the 2016 games, but now that it’s all over, my head is really glad they lost.  Now Rio de Janeiro can bask in the post-Olympic haze of unused judo and weightlifting arenas.

But, since my heart still remains with the Olympics, I was really excited to see Seoul Olympic Park…

My favorite… an abandoned plastic chair by the gymnastics center.  This is why I can never fully support America hosting an Olympics.
