Olympics will be different ...

Not sure if you've had the chance to look ahead, but the upcoming summer Olympic games in Paris are sure going to be different. For starters there will be no opening ceremony in a big stadium like most of us are used to seeing. Instead, we will see things happening on the Seine River in the heart of Paris. The Seine is also site of the opening ceremony on Friday, where some 100 boats carrying tens of thousands of athletes and performers will glide down a 3.7-mile stretch of the river as spectators gather on the river banks.

So that will indeed be interesting to watch. There is also an olympic surfing event. But that won't be on the Seine. No, the surfing will be done in a tiny little part of the South Pacific Ocean ... off the coast of Teahupo'o, a small village in the French Polynesian island of Tahiti
