Chanced upon the near completed Richmond Olympic Oval in the middle of some errands not long ago, but didn’t have time to look thru pix until now. ^^; While I personally think it’s not as cool as the life size Odaiba Gundam – by the way loads more pix/links at dannychoo.com, husband and I were quite impressed by our quick visit with how it looks so far ^^!
We were graced with a beautiful day.
From this view, it looks a bit like something out of this world ^^;
Did not find out what the red nets/sculptures(?) mean ^^;
Whatever they are, they are huge ^^;
The clouds reminds me of those back in Singapore ^^
Hopefully the Richmond Oval is sound proofed well as the airplanes flying past are really loud ^^;
Too bad there were a few trucks in front of our view and some parts are not completed… took this photo just for the record ^^
From this angle, the building is not as backlit ^^
Completely non related note :P Had been meaning to post this for a long time too ^^; Was reminded when we need to open our 2nd box for the furkids ^^; Maybe we’re just biased but we thought the cats printed on the boxes (front and back) looks like of Yoshi and Ginko LOL!
Lastly… Honey, I think we has an artist in the family ^^; (with reference to An Engineer’s Guide to Cats) Oh! Just saw that they have a new video - Advanced Cat Yodeling!
(picture below is taken with phone camera)
Okie back to work ^^; Laters!

First time seeing a scratcher! Its meant to let the furkids scratch to their heart’s content?

nice pics! I like the one with the plane! the furry kids are up for the artist job, he looks well into his work!
sorry to be off topic but I was wondering if you can point me in the right direction? I was wondering how many comments and how much time you need to be registered at dannychoo.com before you are able to post? And how do you post? I have looked for a page that lists this for weeks and can’t find it! sorry again to bother but I am tired of looking!

@maru lol it’s actually not the first time they use a scratcher, they almost destroyed the first one they had ^^;
@chibinezumi thanks ^^ and I actually can’t find a page which list it either :P I roughly remember there was a limit of 50 comments and U gotta be registered for a certain period of time… and did you look at Member News, do you see “Options” next to it yet? If you do I think if U mouse over it U should be able to see “Upload” when you meet the requirements I think? good luck!
@Edward lol! Enjoy! The last photo is Yoshi dismantling the box ^^;
