Day 162: 1st day of Olympic Festivities

After our Chinese New Year dinner, some friends and I went downtown to see the Olympic festivities. We tried to see as many sights as possible.

We wanted to go to David Lam Park to see the sights and sounds there. When we got there, it had a major lineup and it was closed for the night. We then walked into Yaletown. There were many booths selling stuff. Some booths were closed cause it was late. We went into the Yahoo! Vancouver 2010 building. (It is the Mini Cooper store. The Mini Store relocated somewhere else temporary). We took some pictures. It was closing soon after we got there. At about 10:45pm there were fireworks. We didn't see everything. We peaked thru the tall buildings to see the fireworks that were high in the sky.

One friend said there was a dance floor where it lights up in front of the BC Hydro building. When we got there it was closed for the night. We walked down Granville Street. As usual, there were many hooligans on the streets. This time some sang the national anthem on the streets.

One friend said she never had a Japadog before. We walked to get a Japadog on Burrard and Smithe. We shared a terimayo. ummmm so delicious. I was thirsty so I was feeling like a bubble tea. We made our way down Robson Street towards Bubble World. There were many people in the streets but there wasn't much to see in terms of booths or entertainment. We headed home after we bought our bubble teas.
