Traffic is eerily calm. It is as if out of worries of Olympic chaos, all Vancouverite drivers are getting off the streets early. I went to a play with my partner last night, Beyond Eden, my first Cultural Olympiad event. My partner and I were very excited to attend, and to ensure that we arrived on time, we left extra early in case of Olympic-insanity-rush-hour traffic. But, as it turns out, all our worrying was silly: the streets were clear and the driving was easy. There was a strange sense of emptiness to the roads – an almost luxurious sense of space. Then we arrived 45 minutes early to the theatre and felt a bit ridiculous.
The play, by the way, was incredible.
