以前のブログに書きましたが、実は我が家は東京オリンピック男子バレーボール🏐準決勝🥈が当たっていたんです
せっかく有明アリーナ🏐の隣に住んでいるのだから、観てみようともダメ元で申し込んでみたら
なんと大当たり
くじ運の悪い我が家が当てた大きなチャンス
コロナ🦠さえなければ、楽しめたのにね🥲
組織委員会からダウンロードするよう送られて来た「まぼろしのチケット」
こんな紙切れ一枚に変わっちゃったのか…😫
考えてみれば2011年、当時の石原都知事が東京湾岸地域にオリンピックを誘致するとの報道から始まりました
うちのマンションの隣を含む周辺の空き地が結構立派な選手村になるというニュースにびっくり仰天😮
東京都所有の隣地に高い建物は立ちませんと言われていたはずだったのに…😤
最終的に選手村は晴海に落ち着き、我が家のお隣は有明アリーナが建設されることになりましたが、あれから10年の月日が流れました
まぁとにかく色々なことが起きたオリンピックでしたが、10年間振り回された我が家にとってのオリンピックはこの紙切れ一枚になりました
払い戻しはまだだけどね😜

As I wrote in this blog 2 years ago, we won the tickets for men’s volleyball semifinal final of TOKYO 2020.
Though tickets for Olympic Games are highly competitive and we don’t have much luck with lotteries usually, we decided to give it a try just because we thought it’s worthwhile to be part of the games as “neighbors”.
Then we made it!
We won the tickets!
Were it not for COVID -19, we could have simply enjoyed the Olympics.
Here is the tickets we downloaded…
Phantom Olympic Games tickets…
Our dream and luck turned out to be these papers.
Come to think of it, it was 2011 this whole thing has started when the former Governor Ishihara declared Tokyo was going to invite Olympics.
We were surprised to hear the vacant lands owned by Tokyo Metropolitan government surrounded our apartment was going to be the venue of Olympic village.
WHAT!
Didn’t you say they were not going to build high buildings around this area, Mr.Realtor?
But then the situation changed again and again and they ended up changing the venue to Harumi and constructed Ariake Arena at the vacant land right next to our apartment, instead.
10 years have passed since Mr. Ishihara’s declaration.
It’s quite surprising so many problems occurred and we had been swayed by them often as residents living “in” the Olympic venue.
But in any case, it’s over and what left for us are sheets of these papers.
We haven’t received refund yet, though. Hahaha
