As you can see (from the lack of people on the streets!), this is going a while back in January. Three weeks before the Olympics started in Vancouver, LunarFest started on Granville St, between Robson and Georgia, displaying 2010 lanterns made by Taiwanese children as part of Cultural Olympiad. Being a Taiwanese Canadian, it was great to see something displayed so prominently to the world while the Winter Olympics was on. A description of it can be seen on the second photo.
In addition to the lanterns that the elementary school kids made, there were also bigger themed lanterns by Canadian and Taiwanese artists in what’s called “Love, Life and Light”. They look even better at night, which I will be posting later!

The Vancouver Olympic Line runs from the Canada Line Olympic Village station directly to Granville Island, which will be a easy way for anyone who can catch a skytrain to easily access Granville Island without taking their car, especially given that during the Olympics it will be quite congested. It’s not the fastest mode of transportation but it certainly is one of the more interesting ways in the city.
The two streetcars are currently on loan from Brussels, and runs from January 21st to March 21st, mornings to evenings, all for free. There hasn’t been any solid plans as to what they will do with the line afterwards, continuing it, or even expanding it. Why not take advantage of this while you can?

Sometimes a little photography can be therapeutic.
If at first you don’t succeed, don’t give up and try again. Magic can happen.
