A born-and-raised, through-and-through, right-down-to-the-core Vancouverite.

But I’ve never been as Mountie-hugging, as maple leaf-waving, as red-wearing as I am now.

That’s what hosting the world does to you.

Spent the whole day playing tourist in Vancouver, posing in front of landmarks I drive by every day on the way to work.

And boy was it fun.

Because not only was it a sunny Olympic-hosting day, but it was also Chinese New Year.

Happy Year of the Tiger, friends! Gooooooo Canada!
