“Now that the games are up and running, Olson said it’s a matter of letting the TNMH-accredited reporters go about their business, produce content, and see what happens. One surprise so far has been Aleks, a 5-year-old Vancouver boy who’s blogging about his Games experience with the help of his dad. He proudly wears his TNMH badge wherever he goes.”

Last day downtown – Feb 27th
Me and my Dad went downtown for our last day of Olympic stuff. It was raining but we had lots of fun.
I found my Miga backpack that I was looking for my Granny bought it for me!
We walked a lot. First we went to False Creek where there were these really cool Inukshuks that I took pictures of and we could see the Athlete Village.
I had bubble tea it was really good.
At 3 oclock we saw the Mascots again – this time I was at the very front. It was really cool. I got to hug Miga and high 5 Quachi. I saw my cousins and Uncle at the Mascot show.
There were alot of people in downtown I took a video of them and some rap guys. I was sad that the Olympics are almost over. My Dad and me are going to go see Paralympics stuff..

Olympic Superstore – we only had to line up for 10 minutes. No Miga backpacks. I am looking for a Miga backpack. I tried to get my Dad to buy me a Russia hat like this one. He said no.
Art Gallery – was really cool. They have a giant skeleton made of chairs. I got in trouble for trying to take a picture of it.
BC Pavillion – A lot of really cool touchscreens like the ones my Dad has at his work. They had a wall painted like in a hip hop video. It was awesome!

Granville Street – In the middle of the street there are these cool arts and alot of lanterns. Want to see the pictures>
Livecity Yaletown – We had to line up but not for long. In the line up a man from America gave me some cool pins from other Olympics. I am going to take pictures of them. I had to empty all my pockets like at the airport to get in. My Dad and I played cool games in one building and I made a snowboard. The lady that made food gave it to me and my Dad because I have a pass. That was really cool. I had Chinese food and it was free. I took a lot of pictures.
Pacific Centre – I got a pin with an apple on it and a pin with a leaf. I took a picture of a polar bear that looks like it is made from snowballs.
Friday night when it is dark we are going to see the lights..
