A week in Vancouver
I am really spoiled, each time I visit Vancouver... I would have friends that drive me around and a nice place to stay...
( I really have to mention that this Vancouver Friend is Justin., THANK YOU SO MUCH and a few other friends too )
I never really took the bus and I never really explored the town on bus. There is ONE street that I know very very welll. ROBSON...I can even tell you which shops are on which block ! In order.. its bad I know.
So I made another trip to Vancouver and this time, instead of kicking Justin out of his room. I slept on the couch....ha ha ha ha. Instead of having to trouble Justin to get to places, I took BC transit ! Its not that bad.. downloaded a PDF map and started walking...
It was great fun in Vancouver. Meeting with Derek and Craig, RISK Game and Chilli Crab. Fell asleep in a movie - hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy. Real Chinese food with Justin and Jeanna... YUMMY ! more real chinese food with Ally's Parents... Shopping in Metrotown, successfully not buying anything !
I spend soooo much time in Chapters... Its crazy ! I spend afternoons reading in corners.. looking at the people that walked by.. the guy that sold hotdogs across the street.. the lady with 5 shopping bags and red pointed heels... the guy that stood by the street telling passer-bys about 'the voice of BC Students' the teenager that worked at Starbucks, her ever-lasting smile with her knowledge of coffee, the sound of buses, cars and heels against the pavement, the smell of coffeee, books and sunshine... Ah... this is the life of a big city.
For now... I am back in Victoria, its a nice break from blogging, a nice break from Victoria and a good introduction back to City life...
