London: Foreign journalists have voted London 2012 as the best Olympics they have ever seen.

They are praising the friendliness of the people in Britain.

“You walk past someone and they say hi, which is not something you associate with the reserved English,” the Daily Star quoted one journalist as saying.

Gary Lemke, of the South African Media Organisation, said: “It is my fifth Olympics and the best I’ve been to.”

Roger McMillan, from Australian Sailing magazine, added: “The thing I’ve been impressed with is the friendliness. Everyone’s happy and getting involved in the spirit of the Games.”

I`m from Sydney, living here in London. Hilda sweetie, you have no idea what you ar talking about regarding the seating. Stop reading the crap Aussie press. London, I hate to admit it, pisses all over Sydney`s offering.

Sorry, but I still maintain that Sydney wins hands down because of the commercial sale of seating in London causing so many empty seats. Sydney iniated the Volunteers so successfully, it is now copied in all following Olympics. Sydney is ALWAYS such a friendly city (even when Olympics are not in town).
