Superstore

I realized that I promoted the T&T Supermarket and it would only be fair if another introduction to a equally cheap market: Superstore. That way, people will be able to compare the two supermarkets! Like the T&T Supermarket, Superstore offers a wide variety of foods including vegetables, snacks, and meat! Not only does it supply food for people to eat, but it also has its very own electronics department. There, you can find cameras, gaming systems, ipods, etc. The web designers of Superstore are also very creative, as they provide recipes for shoppers to use at home. Such ingredients could be found in Superstore and as a result, they are able to increase their sales and at the same time, provide yummy recipes for shoppers to use at home. It's operating hours start from 7am in the morning to 11pm at night. There is also a large and convenient parking lot right underneath the supermarket so that shoppers will be able to find a parking spot easily. However, during peak times, there are still cars that must wait for a spot. Moreover, because the Superstore is located on no3 road, some people may find it a hassle to wait for the busy traffic to clear before you can leave or enter. However, competent drivers will not have this problem. All in all, this is a great supermarket, with a wide variety of products (I mean they even have an electronics department, what kind of supermarket has that!), a convenient parking lot and location, and long operating hours to provide for shoppers.

2010 Winter Olympics

The 2010 Winter Olympics is an experience that all Richmond and Vancouver citizens will remember for the rest of their lives. Imagine... Streets filled with people cheering and laughing, children running recklessly along the busiest of streets (of course, these streets were closed off), and seeing hundreds, if not thousands, of people cheering Canada on as we competed against the mighty Americans for the Gold Medal in the Men's Hockey game. Of course, they were mighty, but we were just mightier. The excitement, the joy, the passion that Canadians have for hockey and the Winter Olympics is indescribable. A picture is worth a thousand words. You have to see it, to believe it.Look at that. Look at how many people there are on one of the busiest streets in Vancouver. In addition to the excitement that was everywhere, Richmond even had our very own Olympic Stadium, The Richmond Olympic Oval.It is now open to public and from 6am to 9pm on Mondays to Fridays and 8am to 8pm on Weekends and Holidays. Before the 2010 Winter Olympics, the oval also hosted a badminton event and invited world class players to come and play badminton. Taufik Hidayat was one of the players that came to the oval to show off his insane backhand smash. During the Winter Olympics, this stadium was the host of the long track speed skating events. For sure, everyone will forget this long lasting legacy. Hopefully one day, the streets in Richmond and Vancouver will once again be as jam packed and exciting as it was during the Olympic times.
