Downtown – Feb 12
Monday, March 29th, 2010 :: 11:54 pm
Continuing from the same day of the torch relay, I toured downtown within a 2 block radius to absorb all the Olympic festivities atmosphere, after all, it’s the opening day of the Olympics!
I can still remember the day… there were people bustling everywhere.. it was the first time that I had seen downtown Vancouver come alive. People shouting “Go Canada Go!” and singing the anthem, and a sea of red clothes. I headed down to the GE plaza to see what was going on. Zip-liners, people watching performances, ice skaters, and many many people taking photos.
