How about having the olympics in an African or South American city.  I know the olympics have not taken place in Africa and I am pretty sure about South America too.  Just my two cents.

Well, speaking as an avid fan of the Olympics (but someone who likes to see all the events), I would have to opt for Salzburg (Austria) (as it's not that far off GMT)

The Beijing Games are planning on beginning to recruit volunteers in August of this year and information should be made available on the below website, which is the volunteer section of the Beijing Games website.\n\nExpect that there will be many strings attached, with priority going to those who already have housing in the vicinity of the sites for the games (which is the same as was done for Turin (Torino)). There will probably also be a minimal cost involved for uniforms and such, but the biggest cost will be securing housing, as there are currently no plans for a volunteer village ... meaning you're on your own. Speaking multiple languages (Mandarin Chinese would be a BIG plus), is also a key.\n\nGood luck though, because if you get picked it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
