28.02.10 watching the game at "the compound"

the hiphop core that i'm dancing with tonight crowded around one of 3 flatscreens here in tent #1. also, the made in canada cast that will be performing tonight as well. hope the ceremony will be delayed!

26.02.10 at the USA house

i quite enjoyed partying at the USA house (thanks yuen!). i got to meet most of the male athletes from the speedskating team and they are really nice! the other perks were the buffet (scallops, lamb chops, ravioli, cocktail shrimp, dessert... mmmm), open bar with generous pours, the mc café, and pringle chips in every flavour!
and there was a huge flatscreen.
wish i could have stayed longer but the sandman beckoned. plus i took heavy advantage of the open bar ;)

21.02.10 olympic fun PRICELESS

these are just highlights of what i saw as i walked around downtown last night, after giving up on lining up at republic for too long (and not being anywhere near getting in). note: there are way more hiLArious things vancouver... they just were not appropriate to post ie. my friend posing at a sign with an arrow that said "eat here".

18.02.10 sochi house reprise

ah! it must have been because the restaurant was "not working"! ;)
i thought that sign was pretty funny. actually, there was quite a commotion because mr. colbert was there doing a segment for his show. that guy is so funny. can't wait to watch what he airs next week.

18.02.10 sochi house

science world, as we locals know it, has been transformed into russia's sochi house. the line moved quickly but the inside was packed! maybe it was because of the russia hockey hall of fame tours, maybe it was because of the free russian movies they were playing on the imax, maybe because of that elusive cherub... sk... ummm yeah i can't spell that mascot's name. well it has big ears. anyway, it was pretty neat in there.

02.02.10 more richmond whimsy

this picture was taken outside the izakaya restaurant called koto. for all us old school richmond-goers, this place used to be called kamikaze... i think. it's been so long! well the prices are still cheap and i will definitely add to this post if the food is just as good :)

oh yes... i am not a fan of cali rolls but i'm pretty satisfied that they are also open for dinner. haha awesome sign!

02.02.10 is the answer SISQO?

the java hut in the neighbourhood always puts up a trivia question. i think it's for a free coffee but i wouldn't know cuz i never get the answer right. it's fun for the brain as you wait for your food though.
today, i was SO SURE that the answer was the thong song by sisqo. turns out the answer is bach. so close and yet so far!
