Vanouver 2010 Winter Olympics: Day 7 - Hockey, Yaletown Live City Fireworks, Germany House

I watched the Canada vs. Switzerland hockey game. It was a tough game for Canada but they won in penalty shots 3-2. So I decided to go downtown. I was really surprised at Swiss's level of play during this game.



Then I headed downtown to watch the fireworks at the Yaletown Live City (David Lam Park) and enjoyed the energy that a Canadian win brings. I received several high-fives from strangers and there were spontaneous singing of Oh Canada!



People all over Vancouver are dressed in Canadian gear and the atmosphere is electrifying.





People are coming together to sing, dance and generally have a merry time. After watching the fireworks, I watched the end of the Russia vs Slovakia hockey game. It was exciting to watch both teams battle it out in penalty shots. I was surprised Slovakia won against Russia but glad to see the underdog win.

On my way home I decided to enter German House and it seemed everyone was having a good time and there was more spontaneous singing there too.

Who you gonna call?

Last night's movie, Willy Wonka and and the Chocolate Factory, was really good. Alot of families attended the movie. I even enjoyed some Cotton Candy during the movie.

Tonight's movie, Ghostbusters was great too! We had a hard time finding seating but eventually found a spot. Good to see all the Ghostbuster fans show up at David Lam Park.

Chocolate anyone?

The weekend is shaping to be a movie marathon. With two outdoor movies, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory playing at Killarney Community Centre Saturday and Ghostbusters playing at David Lam Park Sunday, I hope all Vancouverites get out and enjoy the free movies.
