ooookie! today was preettty productive hey! we managed to see and do a lot of things. =)) quite a few firsts today too. here's how the day went:

9am.
i woke up reluctantly

11am.
we left the condo, mum and i took the skytrain down to downtown vancouver - burrard st.

12pm.
arrived in the downtown area and proceeded to walk and walk and walk and walk. as "special" as the downtown area is, i honestly didn't think it was anything special. lol. not the "wow" effect that i had back in japan all those years ago. hahah. but yeah - robson st was still pretty spectacular. heaps of little boutique shops - but not many malls.

3pm.
we got sick of the downtown area so we took the sky train back to metropolis shopping centre - 500 shops! woohoo. but yet again, i didn't really feel like shopping much. i did manage however to find a kick ass journal - i've been looking for one for a while so i'm happy. =))

3:30pm.
my uncle and aunty met up with us - and we left for north vancouver.

4pm.
we arrived at capilano suspension bridge. this was a pretty funny experience. they've made the whole place sort of like a theme park - so there's lots of people dressed up in olden day clothes - even some "native" indians playing/singing their songs (badly i might add... and get this - one guy was even wearing glasses - how authentic..! lol) but walking over the bridge was pretty cool.


look closely at the ml description - how random! it's 591mls! lollll. =p bizzare hey.


here's me being silly... hahah. although the cliffhanger walk was kinda scary =p


here you can see the capilano bridge in the background! this was taken AFTER we had dizzily crossed the bridge already...


5:30pm.
we left capilano and headed further north towards grouse mountain. here we took the skyride cable car up to the top of the peak - 4110ft up. what a sight! truly amazing hey. we walked around, watched a movie about grizzly bears, and then went to see the REAL grizzlies! they're sooo cute! but so sad that they're fenced up in captivity...

7pm.
we came down from the mountain and went in search of a restaurant to eat at. we finally decided to have korean bbq (my inspiration i might add), so we ended up at cho-sun restaurant. the food was pretty good hey - yum char yum.


mmmmmm. koreaann bbq... mmmmm. heheh. =)

9:30pm.
by this time we had finished dinner and headed back to the condo to crash.

overall, today was a really good day - the weather was perfect and so was all the food along the way - maybe except macas though.. but i'll leave that story for another post. hahah.

i really should be sleeping soon bcoz we're heading down to seattle early tm morning. we're spending the whole day there, staying the night, and then coming back on friday evening. then on saturday morning, mum and i are headed off on a full day tour of victoria (the capital of BC)! soo i think the next couple of days will be jammed pack with all sorts of stuff - i'll let you know how it all goes!

until then,

jyaa
