How much esthetic whimsy can we come up with on a budget that by Beijing standards will be limited?

Here are some ideas being tossed around:

. Put the Olympic rings on the Lions Gate Bridge, atop one of the North Shore mountains or perhaps on a barge in the middle of English Bay.

. Ask Vancouverites to keep their holiday lights on past New Years, to give the city a festive air.

. Keep bars and restaurants open for longer hours - perhaps around the clock - to give the Olympics a party atmosphere.

. Use lasers and lights to illuminate the North Shore mountains, to give the city a stunning backdrop.

. Buy into new technology that will allow the projection of images throughout the city. Most people forget it, but one of the hits of Expo 86 was the nightly laser show.

here are some visuals;
