I went to Vancouver with Nanase and Mami from September 29th to Octorber 1st. After school, we took an E-bus. We spent 4 hours on it. Almost time, I watched movies. We arrived at Pacific station in Vancouver at 10:00 p.m. We caught a taxi. It was for the first time for me to catch a taxi. So I was nervous a little bit, however, the taxi driver likes Japan. So we were really into talking about Japanese culture. When we arrived at the hotel, we faced two problems. First, we booked a room which had one big bed. It was too small for all of us, so we ordered one extra bed, whereas there was only one bed when we arrived. So we asked a worker where was our extra bed. He brought an extra bed. But it looked like a hospital bed and looked so cheap. So we gave up using an extra bed and we slept together. Another problem was the deposit. I did not know about the deposit, so I thought my credit card was used by someone!! I asked him and he answered that it was the deposit. Our room was on the 27th floor, so the view was so beautiful.
On the second day, we went to Granville Island. Granville Island is surrounded by sea, so We rode an aqua bus. It was so nice. We ate clam chowder pot pie, and it was too hot to eat so my tongue was burnt. But, the taste was so nice. After eating the pie, we enjoyed shopping in the market. Surprisingly, there is a fish dealer which is operated by Japanese people. Next, we went to McArthur Glen Designer Outlet. This is a huge mall and looks like a castle, also, we enjoyed shopping. We went to a night market that was held in Richmond. There were many people so we waited for one hour to join the market. Also, there were many Japanese food stalls, and sadly, all of them were operated by Chinese people. But the taste was good.
On the third day, we went to Gas town. On this day we went along with not only Nanase and Mami but also Mizuho and Koto. We ate croissants in the morning. It was crispy. After that we when to see the steam clock. It was so chic and we heard nice music. There was a funny thing happening. While enjoying shopping, suddenly, water was dripping on our heads. And the water’s smell was so bad!! We escaped this place immediately. Also, the smell of Gus town was sometimes but. I did not why I smelled bad. but Koto said this smell comes from drag! We went to the Vancouver fish company. And I ate seafood pasta. It was delicious!
Last day, we went to Stanley Park. We lent a bicycle and enjoyed riding a bicycle. Also, I saw totem poles! Then, I asked a man to take some pictures with totem poles, however, his finger ended up in the picture!!
I never forget this trip!!
