Vancouver Day 18: Party/Olympic Village


There was a sweet volunteer party today where I got a free tote bag and a bottle of wine along with a $25 gift card to HBC. There was free beer too and a lot of random situations and partying. It was a good way to end the volunteering experience. I got a picture with an RCMP!

I ended up hitting up the Olympic Village to check out what that's like. Prior to that I walked around Granville Island, where it's like a mini carnival. Lots of lights and shops, like a tourist attraction. Unfortunately, by the time I got there, everything was closed except restaurants. We took the Olympic line to get there and it's a train made by bombardier and it's pretty slow, and only 1 stop, took like 5 minutes...it was a disappointment for a tourist attraction.

The Olympic Village was pretty sweet with a lot of places for the Athletes to hang out. It had a lot of open space, and a pretty sweet bar/lounge with pool tables and lounge space. Apparently it's being sold off as low-income housing, but it has a great view of the city!
