Stratford is a disappointment. I was just up there: still being somewhat obsessed with the olympics, I was hoping to explore some of the olympic park. I was up there yesterday, too, but given I didn’t stay very long I thought I’d give it a second chance today. Lyn has a new music app to get to grips with, and since it isn’t difficult to get to, I thought I’d whizz up there. What I found, however, was hellish; the place is utter bedlam, full of people who don’t think twice bout walking straight in front of my chair. Of course, the olympic park is connected to a huge shopping mall, so I had expected it would be busy. What I did not expect, however, was that level of utter chaos! On top of that, I didn’t actually get into the park: I hear the parkland around the stadium is quite pretty, but somehow I couldn’t find it, the place was so crowded. Oh well – there are plenty of other places in this vast, maddeningly intriguing metropolis to explore.
