It’s incredible to live in the city right now. It’s hard to tell what will be around ever corner, except you are pretty much guaranteed to see hundreds of people. There are fireworks, free concerts, excessive numbers of Canadian flags that would make anyone feel patriotic and an excitement that is unexplainable. I love being here right now.
This week I have checked out Atlantic Canada house a couple of times, got to see Ashley MacIsaac with one of the girls from home that was here for the Olympics. Went to see Two Hours Traffic with a couple of friends from here (sadly was let down by their stage performance and the overall seemed pretty unhappy to be playing here… could be the jet lag… but they pretty much didn’t talk during the entire show or smile. The music was good though…) Met up with a friend that his here from Australia for the Olympics, hung out at Robson Square… watched lots of random games… a lot has been going on.
At work there are the Office Olympics that are really fun. I have participated in a street hockey shootout competition, while I didn’t do very good in the actually competition I showed some hope in the warm up, scoring the first two points I went for. Bobsleigh Wii and Air Hockey have also been very entertaining. However, the best event would have to be Office Chair Curling… they have created a huge house for the chairs to get thrown into. It’s just such an awesome thing to do during the Olympics. Loads of people in the building are getting to meet each other and I think in the long run will make a big difference working in the building.
Today I’m headed back out into the madness… we’ll see what I get myself into next . Happy Olympics!
