Post-208: Pyeongchang Olympics 2018

3/17/2014

Who'd ever heard of "Pyeongchang" (평창) before the news came out that it would host the Winter Olypmics? Nobody, I think. Not me. It's a small mountain place somewhere out there.

Here is a billboard I saw about a year ago, while visiting Gapyeong (가평) (see post-15), near Chuncheon (춘천):

That's Korean ice-skater Kim Yuna on the poster. A much-less-flexible bear imitates her, with some success.

Koreans, being Koreans, began marketing "Pyeongchang Water" shortly after the announcement. My favorite bottled-water brand name remains "DMZ Water", though. (This is not to say I bought it; I actually bought whichever was cheapest, which for me was HomePlus water at 500 Won [45 U.S. cents] per 2-L bottle.)

Pyeongchang Olympics 2018 happened already, and it was successful! Than you to the organizers and to the government for allowing it to happen. I am sure that it wouldn't be possible without the help of the government that's why we need to be grateful towards them. When it comes to winter olympics, the perfect countries in Asia would be Korea or Japan! They already know how to be a good host for an event like this!
