Mascots in Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

The three mascots that appear in Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics are Quatchi, Miga and Sumi.

Quatchi is a young sasquatch from the Canadian forests. It loves ICE HOCKEY.
Miga is a sea bear which passionates about SNOWBOARDING.
Sumi lives in WHISTLER. It has the wings of a THUNDERBIRD and the legs of a BLACK BEAR.

The Canadian McDonalds promoted such mascots by printing them on the food-boxes of “Happy Meals”.

What I can learn more from this box of fast food are these words in French:

bonjour (Hello)
aventure (adventure)
commencent (begin)

The McDonalds also teach people how to say “Hello” in 5 different languages.

Continent (in French) Language(in French)Hello!”

Americas (aMeRiQue) Spanish (espagol) iHOLa!
Europe (euROpe) Russian (RuSSe) pRi-veT!
Asia (asie) Mandarin (MaNDaRiN) Ni Hao!
Oceania (OceaNie) Australia (ausTRaLie) gi’DaY!
Africa (aFRiQue) Swahili (SWaHiLi) jaMBO!
