Canada vs. Russian

We found a bar to watch the Canada Russia game.

These canadians become fans at a very young age (is this healthy?)

We sat down and all of the sudden

GOAL Canada!

WTF

GOAL AGAIN crap give me a chance to order my beer for godsake

GOAL AGAIN what the hell is this basket ball?!

AAAAA Russia gets one in (wow I am really taking this seriously)

WIN, wow holy crap that was crazy, it went so fast, it was exciting, was I really watching Hockey?

Lets get out of here–this country is crazy

The Olympics!

We stayed with Seans sister in South Vancouver.  Near the curling stadium (acknowledged in the window art around the neighborhood)

We went into town

Saw the flame (I think some other people decided to do the same thing)

Got some very good advice from a chatty English (ex-pat) at the visitor center

Saw some strange looking Canadians (they may have been from out of town)

I liked the flag capes

Ate some good Ban-Mi (sp?)

Watched people watching people

Then unfortunately discovered that the whole event was evil (thanks to this sign)

(Though not really sure what it means.  But we were glad we never ran into this Olympian)

Green Lake and fish

Walked around Green Lake because it was sunny (otherwise I would hide in my house)

Got fish and chips, pretty much the best fish I have ever had:
