do you have any idea of the size of the revenue streams coming into vancouver because of the games? they're monumental. if you can't get excited about the olympics, i feel a little sorry for you

oh yeah, and just because we don't know the names of many asian cities doesn't mean they aren't amazing. vancouver a joke? that's just ignorant- it was ranked the number one city in the world to live in and that's no joke. i feel blessed to live here.

I'm pretty sure Athens, Greece has it for 2004 and Turin, Italy (I think) has it for 2006.

I dont really care for the Olympics either but the Olympic hockey in 2010 will be awsome...Hockey may not be ur favourite sport (its not mine either) but u have to admit that everyone was a hockey fan when Canada won the gold at Salt Lake...
Thats all I'm looking forward to in 2010....
