LONDON OLYMPICS 2012 CLOSING CEREMONY
Gorgeous, where were you earlier 4:00 in the morning ( Local Time = GMT + 8:00 Standard Time)? Well, I was in my favourite pajama and most comfortable sleeping tee shirt while watching the biggest show on earth - London Olympics 2012 Closing Ceremony! I went live tweeting along with correspondents Campbell Robertson, Sarah Lyall, Victor Mather of New York Times and Ian Garland of Daily Mail UK who have prime seats in the upper deck of the Olympic Stadium, where they have been describing the sights, the sounds, and, if necessary, the smells of the evening! HAHA.
ENJOY!!!
