I just wish some of the houses and LiveCity would stay open a little longer, I did so much but wasn't able to see it all
I did read somewhere that the Zip Line, Robson Square, Downtown LiveCity, Northern House, Mint (different location though), and the oh so awesome Canada House (sarcasm) will be open during the ParaOlympics.

I'm most likely going to check our the Northern House and the Mint. Assuming again that the local Vancouverites don't make me wait 8 hours.

I'll miss the feeling I got whenever I welled up watching and experiencing all these great Canadian moments, knowing that most likely the rest of the country was welling up over the same damn things, at the same time.

I'm not a cryer, but I sure did my fair share over these past 2 weeks or so.

Northern House always had minimal or no line-up (on evening). But it seems like the hours will be shortened to 10-5.

The mint is guaranteed to be as popular as before I guess. Lots of locals still haven't "touched the medals" , or to fully collect the coins
