Olympic Park

I visited Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park tonight. It's on the east side of town and a bit of a trek to get there. The energy of the Olympics is still there, but wow it's a relatively spacious, barren area now. There's a park, there's all the olympic stadiums, there's the crazy statue thing, and there's a nice little town area. The town looks like a London town but it's so new. The design is very London, but the buildings and the walkways are very different materials from the rest of London. I saw a sign that the park recently opened on April 5, so if I'm reading it correctly, it's brand new.

The phrase of the day is "isn't it". Brits often end their sentences as a question, so it's easy to tack on "isn't it" at the end (kinda like "ya know" or "know what I'm sayin"). In the accent it's pronounced "id'n it". Makes for a nice informal feeling.
