good job rio!
So much for Chi town. :laugh4:
Cool, that's ~eastern time zone right? Maybe an hour ahead?
On behalf of the founders of the winning city, I thank you for your congratulations. :)
Yeah congratulations! Chicago was out after round 1 despite of Barry's jetting personally to Copenhague. :beam: :laugh4:
In Brasil they speak Portuguese, not Spanish, btw.
Too bad indeedQuote:

Great news indeed, I'd like to go there, maybe I can afford it by 2016. ~D
Congratulations Rio! :2thumbsup:
Tokyo stood no chance. Half the people in Tokyo didn't want it, and we had Beijing in Asia recently.
I'm surprised Chicago got dropped though.
Yes, congratulations. Hopefully, this will cause them to start cleaning up the slums, but for now, happiness all around!
I wish this was in Backroom, because there is a certain remark regarding Obama vs. Putin/Sochi vs. Chicago I was dying to make...
But it is not...
Really? Can't say how curious I am... :juggle2:Quote:
