Japan at The Olympics!

In Japan the Olympic fever was high! Japan showed support preparing various sets around the city (but probably around the whole country, too ;) and the above one in a shopping center in Kobe was interesting, since hanging from the ceiling ;)

The number one watched Olympic star for this year was Mao Asada, 23 years old, Figure Ice Skating.

She was everywhere on TV and pictures of her were all around. Unfortunately she didn'g get the first place that was won by the Korean Kim Yu-Na, and which apparently was the first time for Korea to take home a Gold Medal in Ice Skating.

The Japanese Mao Asada did however an excellent performance, and she got the silver Medal. Of course she was really sad that she just missed the Gold for few points.

The support she got in japan was amazing. During her performance, I was at a local Gym and everyone stopped during her performance and run in front of the TV...
