It’s Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver. I love the Olympics. I can proudly say I have attended Olympic events before. Check that off my bucket list. To me, Olympics is a time where the world come together. So many amazing stories to be told as athletes perform with one goal in mind – to do their best.
In celebration of the Olympics, I thought it would be fun for us to learn about other countries. What its like to live elsewhere. And what we can learn from mothers around the world. Did you know that Simply Modern Mom has 19 percent international readers? I’ve asked a few SMM readers to share with us what it’s like to be there and not here.
This Education Week will actually lasts two weeks – the duration of the Winter Olympics. Also, throughout the week I’ll post ideas to get children involved in learning culture and in the Olympics.
Even our date night last week was Olympic related. More on that tomorrow at the Project 52: Date Night linking party. Are you ready for it?
Tell me… Did you watch the opening ceremony Friday night? What did you think?
I didn’t watch the ceremony, the timing didn’t work. But I’ve watched some of the clips online. There are so many countries taking part it was quite a ceremony from what I’ve seen. It’s quite an amazing and exciting event bringing so many people together.

I’m Canadian myself. When I watched the ceremony, I felt really proud… then really homesick. Fortunately, my American hubby kept cheering “Go Canada!” which made me feel better. He’s great. So, I’ll cheer “Go USA” every once in a while for him too.
Now that’s love. When you cheer on each other’s country.
I watched them. I thought the use of technologly was unique and I would like to see what others will do with that in the future. I don’t think anything can beat China last year but it was interesting.
Hi, Amy! How are all the kids?
