    Home Away from Home

     
    As people gather from all over the world for the Olympics, London has become host to an international party. With athletes, families and members of countries' Olympic delegations able to come together under one roof at each "House," the competitors are offered a bit of home away from home.
    Additionally, flags of the competing nations line the streets and the venues. This has led to "the flag game" among my friends and me. Fortunately the flags are displayed alphabetically, which gives us a fighting chance.
    How often can you walk down the street or into an arena and see the flags of Kazakhstan, Thailand, Malaysia, Estonia and of course the USA all on display?
