Vancouver 2010: Olympic Outing #3
Today was the day of bumping into people. Friends I saw yesterday, friends I saw last month, friends I saw last year, and of course, the second Canadian gold medalist
but I’ll talk about that later.
I started off by heading over to Science World again and came across a “We Come In Peace” polar bear. Pretty cute thing.
Seeing as a worker or volunteer or security guard or who knows what he is told me that the Ontario Pavilion had no lineup to get in, I decided to saunter in to see what it was all about. And there really was nothing much in there. The outside is really pretty though, made of string/wires.
Blah, blah, blah, walked around and snatched some free things. Waited about half an hour to get into The Bay, where their Olympic clothes sizes are only M and up and where their cashiers need to pay more attention to what they’re ringing up (they didn’t ring up a $30 hoodie and the cashier had a helper too). Then I stopped for a midday snack where CBC Radio broadcasts and where Bread Garden is.
As I was about to leave, I was notified that Maelle Ricker (Canada’s 2nd gold medalist) was right outside and was gonna be doing a radio interview with CBC, so naturally, I stayed, watched, and took a video.
Whew, today was exhausting, especially pushing and shoving around inside The Bay and listening to one worker’s voice every 5 seconds repeating the same old thing. “If you’re in the Bay and you want to get to the Olympic Superstore, you’ll have to exit through the Georgia doors and line up at the Seymour doors! blah… blah… blah……”
Anywho, on the schedule for tomorrow (Thursday): Canada vs. Switzerland hockey game and Downtown to enjoy the nightlife
. And for Friday, ZIP LINING! And more Downtown. Next week (probably Monday), I will be driving my way up to Grouse Mountain at 3am to catch the taping of The Today Show.
Stay tuned for more of my Olympic outings
