Giving my signature thumbs-up to Africa Village!!
A few days ago, I blogged about Africa Village. An outdoor lounge where African sport authorities will showcase the cultural and sporting riches of their respective countries during the Olympics. Today, I am blogging live from Africa Village in the heart of London's Kensington Gardens. Surrounded by the Russia House and the Czech Republic House, the Africa Village was filled with a warm and energetic ambiance and the unique decor of each country was most amazing to absorb. In true African fashion, some countries were still setting up their booths. Big surprise there! But majority of the countries were ready and set to go! Some countries went for a museum look, others went for a lounge look and some went for both! Unfortunately,there were no African athletes on site today and the village was only open to the media today. The village will be open to the public beginning Sunday July 29. Enjoy!
