Vancouver

Two days in Vancouver are not enough. This city is awesome, everything that I like. High rises everywhere, gridded, easy to walk around and just very pretty. So far I’ve spent the day walking around, looking and doing errands. I now have a SIN number and a bank account. I also bought a new SIM card and have a Canadian cell phone number; you can ask me for it or check my contact details on Facebook, not so keen to add it in a post.

I’ve been walking around quite a bit in my brand spanking new sneakers. Ok so they are very me, bright purple and pink (pink not so much me but I compromised). The reason I bring these up is that everywhere I went today people either looked at or commented on my shoes. I have no idea why. I mean yes they are cool shoes, but c’mon Vancouver get with it, this is such an old fashion that it should be normal. I even had people on the street tell me how awesome my shoes were. I think I’ve lost count, but I would say over 20 comments on them. Not that I’m complaining it’s a great conversation starter and makes me feel like less of a loner strolling around these streets.

Oh I bumped into my first Kiwi here, a random lady in a souvenir shop, go figure. I like it though a first Kia ora that I have heard, and probably a last for a while. I’m hoping for some awesome Kiwis in Whistler. I need some friends that I can understand.

Well off to Stanley Park tomorrow apparently it’s a 2 hour walk. Here’s hoping for some good weather. Until next time!
