Next year, this is where the Summer Olympic games will be held - I haven't heard anything lately about how well that they're doing in preparations. That bay is supposedly very polluted - I remember reading something a while ago about a floating sofa. Hopefully, they'll be ready.
I would love to visit - briefly - as I think the crowds would be too much to handle! I just love reading the comments and interactions on these boards - even from two years ago! Bless you all.
