I attended the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies last evening and it was definitely a chance of a life time experience. Here are photos of all, or rather, most of the teams that are participating in the 2010 Winter Olympics. I may have missed photographing a few teams during the march-in as I was also busy enjoying the moment. In accordance with Olympic tradition, Greece entered first and Canada being the host country, marched in last. It was quite amazing seeing all the participating teams in their unique uniforms enter the stadium. Enjoy!

The Miku Restaurant held their North American debut party in Vancouver last evening. Tora Corporation already run 8 successful restaurants and is adding to their global brand by opening Miku, a Japanese fusion fine-dining restaurant specializing in Aburi-style sushi (lightly flame-seared and infused with savoury French sauces); there are also plans to open restaurants in New York and LA.

This Vancouver grand opening event was well attended and organized. There were various pieces throughout the evening including a Taiko drum performance, a traditional Japanese religious prayer and even a swing band to follow. Of course, there was plenty of good food for all who attended. Here are a few photos from the evening.

Aburi-style, flame-seared sushi!

Yummy sushi and tower veggies.

Amazing to hear Taiko drummers live in action!

Tai Hasumi (General Manager of Miku) explaining to Gloria Tsang (Editor-in-Chief for HealthCastle.com) that Miku will use organic, local ingredients where possible to ensure the freshest food.

Thanks goes out to Beth Boyle from Spark for the invite. A job well done.

Brendan Mclean, an old colleague of mine, happened to be playing in the swing band this evening! What are the chances? I have not seen him in ages and bumped into him at this event.

Here is Brendan playing drums with the swing band.

Is this sushi bar long enough? There is actually more of it on the other side of the restaurant!

The gang from Blink Media (AJ Vickery, Lindsay Smith & Mike Agerbo) hosted a social networking event at the GetConnected TV Studio. Turnout was great and it was pretty cool to see the actual studio where the GetConnected TV show is recorded. Remember, it’s always important to make it a few networking events now and again.

It was fun to meet up with old contacts and meet some new people. Last night, I had some very intriguing conversation with Stephen Fung, Heather Magee, Gary Ng and Greg Morgan. Here are some photos from the event. Enjoy.
