(Picture was taken on Feb 11 at Metrotown, may be Olympic volunteers.)I thought it was a good thing, until I realized all it did was to increase taxes, transit fee, parking rate, general inflation, and way too much hassle than it's worth. Yes we did get a new Skytrain line, but the platform is only big enough for 2 cars. Why build something that you know will go obsolete in 2 years?
Only got to watch a short clip of the opening ceremony. A white guy wearing some kind of animal skin was playing a native character. Was that a joke? Personally, I think using this "native" theme is not right. Don't have enough energy to go into that right now, though.
There's not enough snow on the hills. Snow has to be transferred by helicopters from higher elevations. (Big waste of money!) An athlete died while practicing. One of four torch columns failed to rise. And the whole world saw the screw-up.
