Olympic Madness - a retrospective

It's been a few days now since the Olympics have ended. The city went through a massive hangover and now we're all feeling a little deflated after all the excitement. Living in the host city of an Olympics was an experience of a lifetime. The country came together like never before and I think it's safe to say that we all had never felt more national pride than in the last 2 weeks. Although Vancouver had its screw-ups and controversies, I think we managed to show the world that we can show one kick-ass global party. Not bad for a city that was previously known more for its love of a certain herb! Here's some photos and videos of my own experiences in this great city during this dramatic, and joyous Olympic games - go Canada go!!
