Title: Let the 2010 Winter Olympic Games Begin!
Post by: Starseeker on February 13, 2010, 09:27:47 AM: http://www.vancouver2010.com/

As some of you might have known (or noticed when using google today), the 2010 Winter Olympics games officially began today.

As the survivor of craziest media fest/party Beijing has ever seen in 2008, I am not sure anything can top that craziness. It's always interesting to stay in a Olympics hosting city though, since there always seem to be some kind of giddiness/excitement in the air.

I still can't believe 2 of the cities I call home is hosting 2 Olympics back to back!

Any medal predictions? Or Winter sports fans? Very Happy

And before I forget, tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve!

Happy Chinese New year!

Let the second party begin! :guitarist: ;D

I mean I like seeing the US win but hockey is just so Canadian. It would be like another country beating us at Baseball or competitive eating.

The umlaut makes you a nerd. Or foreign? But I don't think you're foreign, so you're a nerd.
