I went to yet another Olympic Venue. The city is covered with random things to do, and see. Today, for the first time, I checked out the unique high-tech design of Bell Ice Cube. It provides visitors an opportunity to view ceremonies and competitions on multiple plasma screens in high definition Bell TV. During the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and during major sporting events, visitors will be able to watch the magic on a large projection screen. As you walk in, you are given a new, decent pair of Bell headphones ( I heart free things) to hook up to random plugs inside the Cube. It is cold as ice inside the building, as expected, and is quite visually appealing. There are hanging cube shaped lights on a wire, glowing tv stands, and blue ice lights to light up the space. Apparently you can see live Music here at times during the day and can watch interviews with Athletes. (we missed this bit).
We walked in to the Bell Ice Cube, just as Canada officially won the first Hockey game against Norway.... wooo-hooo!
Speaking of Hockey: We witnessed an awesome random Hockey Game today on the busy streets of Granville, downtown Vancouver! This is definitely a first! If the Olympics weren't going on, you would never see this happen. . . . . .
