Where is Busan?

Busan Launches Bid for 2020 Summer Olympics

"Busan 2020, Again '88." That is the slogan and desire of the citizens of Busan celebrating the launch of their bid to become host city for the 32nd Summer Olympic Games.
With Seoul's successful attempt for the 1988 games in mind over 4-thousand Busan citizens and dignitaries gathered here at the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center to celebrate this event.

Potential Host Cities for 2020 Summer Olympics

1) Rome -- the Games haven't been in the city since 1960

2) Minneapolis --
(Little-known fact: Minneapolis finished second in the voting for the 1952 Olympics behind Helsinki.)

3) Madrid --

4) Dubai/Doha --
The IOC has never gone to the Middle East.

5) Toronto
