There's a fairly long list. The site below has some good detail on the different cities.

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.

Well, I don't think SLC could hold a Summer Olympics, but only because they already hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics.  I may be wrong, but isn't a city only allowed one Olympics? I think it would be unfair.

I would certainly be very interested to see the Olympics in Istanbul, but somehow fear that because London (host of the 2012 Olympics) is nearby that might preclude Turkey from hosting the Games.

I have heard from many people that Sydney 2000 was the best organized and planned games.. \n\nI swam at those games, and I will tell you nothing in my lifetime will be better than that, I am really looking foward to the China Games because they have something to prove..

Next one will be in South Africa.\n\nThe one afterwards will definetly be in South America. It has already been announced by FIFA. The two major bids are Brazil and Chile-Argentina. All the South American teams are supporting Brazil's bid (including Chile). \n\nHowever Blatter is not happy with the idea of Brazil hosting it due to bad infrastructure. He threatened to move it to North America if need be. (Mexico or Canada were both mentioned.)

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)
