Festivities at GE Plaza at Robson Square: Olympics only 1 week away

Olympic Spirit was all around at GE Plaza today. The mayor, Gregor Robertson, the Olympic Minister, Vancouver Tourism, and fellow Vancouverites were at festivities. Can't wait until next Friday to be at the 2010 Opening Ceremonies! I will settle for the Grand Opening of Switzerland House for today.

It's almost Friday and time to get high ... in the sky

If you look up in the sky this Friday morning you may see lots of activity in the sky. Don't be alarmed. We are not being invaded. To mark Canada's flight centennial, 100 airplanes will start flying single file British Columbia to Novia Scotia. For more details, view the video below and then visit Cross Canada Flights. The British Columbia flight leaves from Boundary Bay Airport.

Vancouver is Triple the Fun

It was a "little person's" birthday today so I ended up at Crash Crawly. Their indoor playground is great for kids. It was lots of fun.

Then travelled across the Burrard Bridge to witness the new bike lane. It was almost 9pm and I was on a bus because I was in a rush to make it to Vancouver Museum's outdoor movie at Vanier Park, Triplets of Belleville. I was glad to see the movie which incorporated a bike theme and French, our other official language.

Why? Why?

It was a rainy day in Vancouver. I had almost forgotten what rain felt like since it's been a while since it rained. It was a perfect day to stay indoors and watch the MJ's memorial online.

There were many touching moments at the memorial, including Micheal Jackson's daughter speaking out in support for her father and Mariah Carey singing one of my favorite songs. I think the biggest surprise to me was seeing John Mayer perform. I think everyone who performed sang from the heart which was uplifting.

It was a happy-sad day.

It was another beautiful day in Vancouver and I had lots of fun at Play Land.

Yesterday I tried the Staples Center website I tried to get tickets for the MJ memorial just to find the website server had shut down however I was able to enter my name in today. If I don't win tickets I will be watching the memorial online.
