This video is of downtown Vancouver. It includes the Olympic cauldron, the Olympic rings and party central - Granville and Robson.

The mood was incredible, the atmosphere was happy, the random outbursts of the singing of O’Canada was inspiring. It was truly an incredible experience.

The time on the street where the crowd is the biggest near the end of the video is immediately after Canada’s victory over Russia in Olympic hockey.

This is a quick montage of the events so far on the way to Vancouver. This trip has become more than just a way to see my sister before I leave for Toronto, it’s become a last hurrah of sorts.

Jason and Will, the two guys on this trip are both friends of mine from college in Winnipeg. But now, the same thing that brought us together has lead to us going our separate ways. Because of my education through the program we were in together I got a job with ICUC Moderation Services and this has given me the opportunity to move and experience Toronto

We are having a great time so far and I imagine the good times will continue in the days to come. Follow the adventure even closer by following me on twitter @dustinplett.
