In 1964 Tokyo became the first ever Asian host-city of the Olympic games. Next year, with the Opening Ceremony on July 24, it will become the first Asian city to have held the biggest sporting competition on the planet twice.
Many of the iconic 1964 stadiums will be reopened for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and there will also be new, state-of-the-art venues which will have been purpose built.
At each Olympics, there are always a couple of new sports to feature. For the first time, climbing, karate, skateboarding, and surfing will be contested. Baseball and softball will make a comeback after being dropped from the London 2012 Olympics.
There will be two main zones which will be linked physically and metaphorically. The Heritage Zone (the area of the ‘64 Olympics) will overlap with the new Tokyo Bay Zone, representing the link between past Olympic legacy and that of the present and future.

Target : Traveling around the world
Travel reminds those paying attention that they are not the only man in the world, that this is a huge world and that they are only a small, insignificant human in it. This is quite a leisure experience – to go to another country or another state and see large numbers of peoples living differently, and coming to understand how large the world actually is. When people who learn return home, they keep with them this perspective for the rest of their life and they benefit from this is knowledge and perspective.
Another benefit to traveling is coming to see one’s native country in a different light, in a different way. This is done through being able to compare and contrast home from a foreign location, done most always through traveling. A new perspective may be formed
