Who knew that curling would get so much publicity? It's all thanks to the Norwegian Curling Team's Pants. Awesome.

Also, the US is so far in the lead for medal standings, but Germany is not too far behind. My home country of Canada is doing very decently so far. It's pretty surreal actually, because I'm at UBC campus every day, and whenever there's a hockey game at the arena, the street fills up with this massive stream of people, all wearing flags, emblazoned with their national colours, faces painted, holding signs, cheering loudly. Then it's empty again until the next hockey game.
