Watching the Olympics

Posted on 9:04 AM by jackline
At my hotel I can follow the Olympics in any of three languages:a. Arabic,b. German, orc. Italian.This isn't so bad, however, because I don't have to sit through NBC's inane, annoying and commercial-laden coverage of the Games.It's worth mentioning that even the Arab announcers on Abu Dhabi Sport are absolutely fawning over Michael Phelps.
