Our correspondent from Vancouver- crazyiness


VANCOUVER-Live-

Snap! That is a scary scene near the story, don't try to even go near. Where are the hundreds of thousands of police that are supposedly there? The happy mob can be a little frightening. Not only Olympic fans, but fashion piranhas that eat glass! Will tell horror at end of story.

People may be crazy about the Olympics, but they are definately insane about the clothes!!!! T-shirts are $60, the cheapest thing out there, unless you risk your life and force yourself through the crowd into the Olympic store and buy the Oprah endorsed $20 mittens that Joe Biden wore. The reality, everything else costs about $500. You want to rent somebody's apartment in the middle of no-where for a day? $1000. Hotel rooms have been booked maybe a year ago.

Rumour has it that there are hundreds of thousands of police here to help security?!! There are maybe one or two, but the crowd is packed so dense you can barely see them!

So these crazy people the other day tried to buy stuff at those insane prices, and charged to the store in a mad frenzy, destroying the glass in a crazed stampede! Lawyers from China, businessmen from France, you name it, who would normally be sane in other circumstance lose their mind here.
