I even had the opportunity to go to a couple of events (2 hockey games) and I will remember that forever. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fellow student Jeongmin Lee from South Korea also enjoyed the experience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I saw the opening ceremony of 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics in a pub with other LSI students. It was really crowded there. It was like when we held the 2002 World Cup in Seoul, Korea. It was such a good experience for me. I am lucky to visit Vancouver during the Olympic season! I will never forget it. Go Canada Go!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Our next Olympic city will be London in 2012. Can you imagine what it might be like to study at one of our two London schools\u00a0 (<a title=\"Language studies international language school at London Central\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/england\/london-central\/school\" target=\"_blank\">London Central<\/a> and <a title=\"Language studies international language school at London Hamptead\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/england\/london-hampstead\/school\" target=\"_blank\">London Hampstead<\/a>) whilst the Olympics are on? Judging by the comments from our LSI Vancouver students, it will be an opportunity not to be missed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All eyes were on Vancouver recently as Canada hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics.
