Interesting to see that they planned three of the arms to emerge instead of four, it was clever, yes but it was almost as if we were lied to. Still how else would they light the flame in the closing ceremony.

I didn't care much for the cauldron when I first saw it, but it is absolutely gorgeous at 2:43 going forward...I guess the missing leg really hurt the esthetic of it.

Ahhh it was sure great to see my new family that I have made when I was there. I am one of the dancers in the Aboriginal People's of Canada. I was the Northwest Headleader in the Musqueam entrance with the Musqueam dancers. I had so much fun there, but sadly I miss it so much. I miss everything............yes including the stupid box lunches, lol. I am so happy they filmed up while getting ready. I thank the Four Host Nation and the City of Vancouver for allowing me to be part of it.

@TheMrLestrange Thank you very much on your support and yes we sure did for the other ppl who performered in the other performances. We all did it for our country, our provinces, our hometown, our band/tribes, family, and friends. I really had a blast and I'm glad we made you all happy and enjoyed our performance. We earned it and we are heroes in our hometowns.
