Embassy of Ecuador

London, United Kingdom

A country’s sovereignty is freedom from forced outside intervention. This extends to all embassies, consulates and diplomatic missions (considered extensions of territory) and is inviolable. A threat to sovereignty is to be dealt with utmost caution as it can be interpreted as naked aggression. The international law on inviolability is again put to the test in Ecuador’s London embassy with the planned taking of the fearless wikileaks founder Julian Assange by Britain. Ecuador's position is clear and is supported by the coalition of South American states and all other sovereigns all over the world. Britain heard he outcry and backed off....

Greatest

Olympic Village

London

Whoops I haven’t updated this blog for a few days since I was at Big Bear, and which I will be writing about next. Ok this is my last string of posts about Michael Phelps. I just can’t let this behemoth of a champion go easily. Now he has 22 Olympic medals, 18 of which are gold! Smashing Larisa’s record is great, doubling-up on three-peats for both 200m-im and 100m-butterfly is greater. “but is there a limit to greatness?” if I may ask. “You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.“ sayeth the greatest, ever!

Epic

XXX Olympiad

London

This is epic. The Gold-snatching 4x200m freestyle relay made Phelps the most be-medaled Olympian in history at 19, dethroning Larisa Latynina's 18 after 48 years! As if it wasn’t dizzying enough, he made a 3-peat (a record in itself) at the 200m Individual Medley (Athens, Beijing, London) for a staggering 20! Holy cow! No one can smash that record - ever! Well, at least, not in my lifetime. The unbelievable is achievable!- He made us believe that, this guy, Michael Phelps!
