Walking in Peace

We walked through the Olympic Village with Tina and Debrah today. They are the planners for Olympic Village. We waited for them in a public place, in the park they have 2 giant sparrows. They also told us that, during night time they put on a light show. Sadly, we were not able to see it. Then we walked by the seawall. The seawall is big, they can put a pedestrian lane and a bike lane. They have lots of public seating too, like chairs that spin, seat for you to look at the sky, and wield looking ones. I personally enjoy this place because I can walk along in peace and it is a great place to bike.

There were also buildings near the waterfront, but it is very expensive to rent it. There is also a park next to this place and inside there is a statue. The statue is made out of metal people. Another is a waterfall fountain, it is water going down a metal side. I think this is a great way to make kids drink water. While we continued walking down the park, I noticed that there is two different dog parks. One of them is for big dogs and the other is for small.

After the tour ended, we went to Maker Labs. It is a place where we can create anything we want, with the tools they provided. I learned how to use a laser cutter while I was there and with that we were able to make a small wooden figures. Our main goal there was to make a wooden box. This may not sound that hard, but it still took us about five hours to make it. After we finished the box, the screw were sticking out. So we had to cut them out with a hacksaw. In the end we finished what we came for.
