Vancouver 2010 Olympics was a great party! Vancouver real estate

June 25th, 2010 Carl

The televised showing of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics demonstrated a city in total chaos for 16 days. Just to think that they invested seven years of serious work into preparing for this incredible event , and regardless of the controversies that surrounded the early days of the Games, Canada was able to rally and finally claim victory when it won gold in the final hockey game against the U.S. Our nation won a total of 14 medals, the most number of golds to be won by a host country of the Olympics.

Downtown Vancouver was the site of countless special events, featuring live concerts , wonderful events , ziplining along Robson Street – where there reportedly huge lines up and waits – and night long parties everywhere . Each night the main party strip , home of the liveliest nightlife in Vancouver, was packed for hours on end . A number of houses/tents were set up to display Canada’s provinces, as well as the different countries that participated in the Games. I traveled downtown on a few occurrences during the course of the Games, but I have to say that the most unforgettable sight was following the Opening ceremonies .

I’ll always recall ambling down Granville Street at this historical time , and it made me joyful to see Canada, where the citizens are so patriotic. As I went to Vancouver to do business, I met a Vancouver real estate agent who was equally dazzled by the fact that many people posted their Canadian flags up in their windows proudly showing their Country! Wherever you went, you encountered individuals dressed in Canada’s national colors of red and white, high-fiving complete strangers as they screamed and cheered and had a wonderful time. And nobody made any scenes! Security officers were positioned every few feet, but there weren’t any fights to break up. Anyway we didn’t see some.

Such an astonishing event in such a world class city like this a city like this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Vancouver bc real estate agents from REMAX Vancouver were also very patriotic by placing Canadian flags all over the city and volunteering for the event as well. We hope you will love this city if you are ever in Vancouver sometime, which will give you an opportunity to discover the city all on your own!
