It is almost better than going to see the events which usually requires complicated bus rides. The cafeteria is amazing. I have never seen anything so big in my life. There are all different kinds of foods to suit any diet or culture. There are tons of stations and servers so you almost never have to stand in line.
People watching is a favorite pastime there.
It is fun to try to guess what sport people are in from looking at them. There are also some really small people but they are a minority. Some sports are obvious but others I neverrealized how big the athletes were. Put dirty clothes in and take it to a center and pick it up about half a day later. The whole US team has these warmup suits to wear n the podium and the jackets are white.
