Sadly for sports fans the Olympic Torch isn’t coming to our shores. And after seeing all the fun in London, Paris and San Francisco you might be feeling like you are missing out on all the fun. Fear not; Gridskipper presents Google’s Guide to Protesting the Olympic Torch.
The nearest destination you can travel to is Canberra, but if you’re up for a challenge, you might want to go to New Delhi where organisers are confident that the torch will pass through on April 17 smoothly and be a “grand success”.
As Gridskipper says of the remaining 14 cities to host the torch:
The tour includes such exciting destinations as San Francisco, Buenos Aires, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and the hometown of everyone’s favorite despot — Pyongyang! There’s still plenty of time to plan a trip to go protest the torch in any one of these great urban oases. Protesters get to meet other cute politically involved types and rub elbows with the world-class athletes who carry the torch, all while enjoying the fun of screaming and flinging yourself at angry law enforcement personnel.
