Can I just shock you? I like wine

The Games are well and truly underway out here, and overnight Vancouver has transformed itself into Rio de Janeiro. It seems like the whole of Vancouver has taken to the streets and there is a real carnival atmosphere! Some of the scenes following the opening ceremony were spectacular...






So far the games have been marked by the death of the Georgian Luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili. But the success of the Candian women and mens athletes in the free style moguls has more than lifted the nation, it's how I imagine England to be after a World Cup victory, so never, right? It was however an epic moment when Alexandre Bilodeua clinched the Gold medal...

Naturally, win or lose, you booze. Or at least that's mine, and 400,000 other canadians take on the games. So Saturday and Sunday nights were typically huge, with bobby dazzler (token kiwi flat mate) squaring us away with some fine dining at Cin Cin on Saturday and then repeating the trick last night at the Blue Water cafe. Where once again fine wines, sushi and creme brulee were downed. To complete a 3 night bonanza of freebies, the CEO invited us out for a gin and tonic or 7, Bombay Sapphire, naturally.



Anyway guys just a quick update and I'll bring you lots more news throughout the games. But just finally the only game of importance today is good old Becks coming back home.




Peace out
