some thoughts about Olympic at this moment. Olympic, moment, thoughts

prelude318is

Before winter Olympic started,  I hated it.   I hated it causes the rising price of real estate, the overbudget of the entire thing,  the road closure and inconvinence,  the ugly design of the medal..... etcetc.....

I dont' know why i started to like it very much at this moment.  It brings us Canada Line, extra job opportunity in the last couple of years, the pride of being a Canadian.. etcetc....  Even the medal looks so much nicer to me now than they first announced it.

I am not a big hockey fan but I will spare my 2.5 hour to watch the game and I feel bad when Canada lost to USA.  I actually have a country to support because i am Canadian. I never have this feeling before. I didn't support China in the previous Olympics because I used to think i am a Honger,  not mainland Chinese.  I have never seen there is so many Canadian flags in the city in my entire life.  I used to think it is only Americans like to put the flags out to show their patriotism.  We Canadian actually have more flags than Americans, we just didn't like to put it out all the time.

I guess patriotism is what we benefit from this Winter Games.

Any one has some similar feeling?

very true,  Canadian athelete's success is partially from the taxpayers support.   

Money is already spent.  What I hope is they perform well in the winter games and now they did it.  The athelete's hard work have united our country and the feeling i have at this moment is priceless.....
