Let the 2010 Winter Olympic Games Begin!

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

Happy for you Canada....

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.

competitive eating.

the japanese do it all the time. the annual hotdog eating competition on july 4th, a good third of the competitors are asians, at least one or two born overseas. but dont hold me too close to stats, i just know that they're usually the ones to watch out for

All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

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