Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
just got home to kelowna from spending the weekend down there. partied downtown yesterday and last night. and more importantly, watched the game at livecity downtown. then spent the day downtown. i've never experienced something like that before and im confident i never will again. it was canada day on steroids. my voice is gone and my hands are raw from high fiving everyone. i dont know what to do with the rest of my life because nothing will come close to today
The last 2 weeks were beyond amazing. I'll admit the first few days were whatever, I didn't really feel anything but once we won our first gold and people started heading downtown the energy level went sky high.
What an amazing experience to be part of and an experience that we'll only witness once in our lifetime. The games were the best thing that ever happen to Vancouver and to Canada; it united everyone no matter what race/religion because everyone was proud to be CANADIAN for the last 2 weeks and it showed the entire world why Canada is the greatest country in the world.

hopefully London is going to be a blast... but i just don't see them having our atmosphere
i wore my holland jacket today and ppl thought i was a foreigner and kept greeting me and cheering holland lol it was great to see us acting so nice though
however i saw a cop bitch out a couple of seniors because they didn't realize the streets switched from pedestrian to auto traffic
Bahh you guys are making me feel like crap for not going downtown today. Kicking myself for not getting down there.
I did the Heineken House and Irish house over the past week and don't think I've had that much fun in a long time.
At the end of the day, I'm not as sad to see the Olympics themself go, but rather the jubilant atmosphere and great street parties that were had.
I hope the city and it's nightlife learned a lot about how to run REAL parties. No bullshit long line-ups, guest list or having to grease the bouncer. Just great venues and most importantly, a crowd that was there to have fun. No fights, mean-mugging or whatever. Just people who came together to celebrate.
That's what I'm going to miss because I fear Vancouver is going to go back to the city of no fun.
i saw someone get hit by a car right in front of the granville sky train station exit. lol.. the guy just got up, walked it off, everyone cheered and he left, it was wierd shit... lol. the guy will regret it in the morning.

i don't know if any of you guys read some sports articles on Yahoo, but the one i came across this evening has to be one of the most hate-filled comments section i've read.
