I agree.It's great.

The Olympics did generate a great upliftment in mood and spirit here in Canada during the few weeks they were on but the cost has been very high.

Still, there is a legacy--the new infrastructure left behind. e.g. the new huge ice rink built in Richmond (a suburb of Vancouver where most of the Chinese Immigrants appear to now live) which caters to all kinds of ice sport . It only cost 30 million dollarsto build. or was it more?

And the magnificent Sea to Sky Highway which was changed from a dangerous twisty, twiny road, subject to unexpected rock falls from the cliffs beside it, into a great scenic multi-lane highway, being the road from Vancouver up to Whistler.

It is interesting to note, however, that last year we took a drive up to Whistler just to see what the engineers had accomnplished and I only saw one slow-moving vehicle with a foreign number plate on it, all the way up the 80 k route.

Nice views though of Howe Sound and the West Coast Mountains. :thumbup:
