5 Things I've Learned About the Olympics from Vancouver's International Students
I came back to Ontario from Vancouver a week before the Olympics came to town, but thanks to the "students' eye view" provided by this site, I've been able to get a pretty good sense of what the games are like outside the glare of traditional media coverage.
Here are the five most interesting things I've learned:
1. The streets are almost as much fun as the venues - http://vancouver-games.posterous.com/2010-winter-game-fever and http://vancouver-games.posterous.com/the-city-is-painted-red-go-canada-go
2. There are a million little "cultural window" moments created by the mix of people visiting the city - http://vancouver-games.posterous.com/the-famous-person-of-melissa-hihi
3. Olympic spirit has made the people of Vancouver much more tolerant of being filmed - http://vancouver-games.posterous.com/csli-tickets-for-the-winter-games-opening-cer
4. Spontaneous parties are breaking out everywhere - http://vancouver-games.posterous.com/vancouver-winter-games-2010-so-much-fun-in-th
5. Even superheroes sometimes need a drink. - http://vancouver-games.posterous.com/capt-canada-drowns-his-sorrows
