The End is Here

Well as you all know yesterday the Olympics ended. Also as you may know Canada won the hockey game last night and I must say what a great way to end the Olympics!! At this point you may think "what?!? but you're American" Exactly, Most of the Asburians came to the conclusion that it was better for Canada to win. You see if America had one, there would have been riots in the streets because that is how America is. When Canada wins however, everyone files into the streets singing "O Canada" and high fiving and hugging each other. Canada won the last event on home soil. When they won yesterday Whistler was not packed with riots and all that kind of stuff us Americans are used to, but yet the place was a sea of Canadian Flags and people just happy to be Alive. In my Friend Jordan Young's blog he mentioned how up here in Canada there is community of the human race celebrating progress together. My friend is so right, here in Canada it is like one big community, in fact I heard a guy on TV last night say, "You know that whole six degree of seperation thing? Well here in Canada it's more like 2 or 3, everyone knows each other." He is so right, everyone seems to know each other whether they actually do or not. Also Canadians don't complain about very much, even when they loose a game they congratulate the other team. I think a goal for many of us that have had this experience is to try not to complain about every little thing and just enjoy life and be happy. Well now I must get going and begin my trip back to the states, Again this has been an incredible experience and would go again in a heartbeat without even thinking about it.
