Japanese Society and The Establishment are obsessed with doubtful "Olympics Myth".

What are they going to prove? So far they've only proven incapable of living up to the promises they told to get the bid. I believe it'll live up to being the absolute worst debacle in history in terms of weather affecting the Olympics. Otherwise, I think it'll be fine, but nothing "new" will come of it. The original Tokyo Olympics showed a HUGE amount of technological and building achievements and progress; this one won't.

One legacy of the 1964 Olympics was that part of the Olympic village became a Youth Hostal, and other parts, a sort of camp for young Japanese people from all over the country doing sports activities and team building.

I stayed there for a few days in 1984 and with my small super 8 silient cini camera filmed some young people practicing archery.

Could anyone tell me of a site in Japan where this can be posted, maybe these (then) young people would be intetested in seeing this 38 years later.
