Ir a los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno es toda una experiencia: misma que sólo podemos entender hasta que lo presenciamos con nuestros propios ojos. Los días que estuvimos en Vancouver vimos que se respiraba un ambiente de alegría y de compañerismo entre la gente que habita la ciudad y entre los extranjeros que seguían llegando para presenciar los Juegos. Los deportes tienen la capacidad de hacer eso: de inducir a la gente a un estado positivo. Vancouver es una ciudad muy interesante gracias a la mezcla de diversos grupos humanos -provenientes de todo el mundo- que han llegado para quedarse a habitar. De alguna manera tener un grupo tan diverso ayuda a que la gente aprenda a convivir mejor y, quizás, también determina los ojos con los que la gente mira la felicidad. Pudimos encontrar gente que nos contó sus historias de felicidad: desde una pareja madura que nos dijo, mientras descendían de haber esquiado en una fría y lluviosa mañana, que la felicidad era haberse retirado; hasta la joven punk rocker que nos dijo que lo más feliz que le haría ese día era ver a su hermanita.

Me voici à la cérémonie d'ouverture des Jeux Olympiques d'hiver á Vancouver. Et bien sûr j'agite mon petit drapeau belge pour soutenir notre 'Team Belgium' yeah!
Au fait le poncho blanc n'est pas un choix vestimentaire particulier de ma part mais une obligation pour faire partie des celebrations. Le public joue un rôle assez important. Quel bonheur d'en faire partie!

'Belgium represent!'

We're goofing around with some 'happiness inspectors' in a huge Coke tent. This place is so much fun! We get to swim with polar bears, join recycling contests and have an awesome time! All in the name of 'live positively'

Happiness inspectors

This lovely family gave us a little rendition of their very own cheer for their favorite athlete. Sport is definitely the happy word of the day here in Vancouver. Happy family

These happy girls gave us a taste of the olympic spirit by sharing their happy cheer : 'go Canada GO!' When asked to describe happiness in one word we got : skiing! Happy chicks!

About

Starting January 2010, three happiness ambassadors will begin an unprecedented journey to all 206 countries where Coca-Cola is sold. That's 14 more countries than are represented in the United Nations! Their mission is to seek out "what makes people happy" around the world.

These "happiness ambassadors" will search for and share the optimism and happiness of Coca-Cola from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and everywhere in between. Their route will include some pretty amazing venues including- the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the World Cup in South Africa and the World Expo in Shanghai.

Throughout the year-long journey, these Happiness Ambassadors will be sharing their blog posts, tweets, videos, interviews and pictures so you can follow their adventures in every country along the way.
