Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Go Canada Go!

A week ago I felt rather indifferent towards the Olympics but now I am definitely into it. Not to the extreme of wearing a Canada flag as a cape like some of the people that I have seen but I have watched an extreme amount of Olympic events & I have spent a couple of days downtown. It is hard not to get caught up in the excitement of it. I am proud to be a Canadian. We're great. We cheer when we win & if we don't win they cheer anyway! I also have to add that the weather has been FANTASTIC! Too bad it is the WINTER Olympics. We are supposed to have highs of 10 for the next few days.

Olympic Madness

Vancouver 2010, exciting right? I am not really sure how I feel about the Olympics. I am not against them but I'm not really for them either, kinda indifferent. I do love Vancouver though, A LOT. I was downtown yesterday & it was totally decked out Olympics-style. I saw two things that made me laugh. Pacific Centre as an igloo & a log cabin in front of the Art Gallery (because both of those things are stereotypically 'Canadian', right?) I would like to think that once tourists get to Vancouver they would realize that Canada is not in fact cold/snowy all year round. Well, they could also think that the lack of snow is some sort of freak accident, who knows. I think that it is kinda funny that there is no snow, kinda makes it seem like a bit of a waste. There has been so much money spent on the Olympics already & now they have to pay more money to bring snow in from other places. It is kinda cool being this close to everything though & I am definitely going to take advantage of the free shows in my area.

On Sunday I have a friend coming up from Washington state. I am going to play tourist with her, it should be fun! :) Other peoples excitement usually rubs off on me. It will be fun getting a chance to experience something new & exciting through her.
