a few days ago i found something amazing on iTunes. because my current location has such fast internet, this amazing thing could be mine for just $2.99. i thought about it for a while, wondering if it was really worth it, then decided “yes, of course it is!”
any guesses?
well perhaps i will just tell you. for 2.99 i bought the videos of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2010 vancouver olympics. and i have already finished all almost 6 hours of it… turns out that 1am is a great time to be patriotic.
:D
as i was watching all of these videos i was reminded of a few things…
-i love my country
-i am canadian
-canadians are slightly ridiculous
-one day, i really must be an olympics volunteer
i would have to say that my favourite segment of the opening ceremonies would either be the slam poetry or the crowds of ‘protesters’ chasing gretzky down the streets of vancouver in the rain.
favourite of the closing is definitely the canadian stereotypes showcase; complete with giant inflatable beavers, dancing mounties, and a hysterical buble.

THANK YOU CTV for bringing me back to the homeland and making me feel like i belong!

My first guess was going to be the Canadian music from the Olympics. So I wasn’t too far off :) I’ll have to watch yours since I missed the first half of the opening…
You can still watch in online for free. I just showed the girls the opening ceremony yesterday. Mostly for the opera singer – Sarah loves opera and singing really loud.
