Cool. As I left a brief message under the other topic, I was about to take you as someone else who I was in MATH 110 and 120 in Douglas...
Some of my best friends of mine have been living just off near Steveston Hwy and Railroad; therefore, I always visit them every time I visit Canada.
You reminded me of a day spent in Steveston on Canada Day several years ago...
Watched a parade in the afternoon, visiting the community centre for events and salmon lunch, then fireworks at night. I really had lots of fun there!
Just curious that festival takes place every year...
So, where about in Richmond/Steveston you have been living?
Hirosan>>
Greets! Funny that you mention Steveson Hwy and Railway. I lived *right by there.* Maybe a 5~10 minute walk from the intersection. Small world.
Canada Day at Steveston is great, I go there every year. The salmon bake, carnivals, lots of people and fireworks in the evening! When were you there?
Wow... kewl. Came up with the name of intersection because I had to know the closest bus stop to pay my friends a visit:)
I remember I got lost around ther because I did not follow my friends' instruciton "a block south, a few blocks west" by doing stupid shortcut walking through condos around there!
Thanks for reminding me of the events in Steveston!
Yes! The salmon bake and many other activities were held there... the last time I was there for Canada Day was back to the year 2000と、かなり昔なんです・・・
Hello there Justin! こちらこそ宜しくお願いします。
私は以前10ヶ月程Van にいて、UBCに通っていました。(and no I never went to Wreck beach, sadly...*LOL*) 私自身はトロント育ちなので、西と東とでやっぱり違うと思ったことは少しありましたがVancouverは本当に良い思い出で沢山です。The people are so wonderful, as well as the scenery, and might I add.. the FOOD! Man, that was amazing.
。一つの通りにrussian, afghan, greek, korean cuisineが並んでいたりと、色んな国の食べ物があって。
Vanに行ったのは八月で、東京に帰ってきたのが6月の初めだったのでJustinさんが仰っているFestival of Lightsを逃してしまいました。(涙)一番良い時期にVanに居なかったhaha.
Hey there Rei! UBCに行ったことあるんだ!すごい懐かしいばよです。UBCには4万人いるからすごい色々な人と会う事が出来ますよ。皆はフレンドリですぐに仲良しになれる。でも日本人もすごいフレンドリですよ。私は留学生のVoulunteer達に何回もお世話になっているので、日本人のやさしさはどこまでいけるかさっぱり分からない。日本に来てかなり、感動した。
You're right about the food! I really love the food there. There are tons of cafes to check out and all sorts of restaurants to eat at. I really miss that.
I really love the scenery in Vancouver too. 10ヶ月Vanにすむと沢山色々な場所に行っただよね。私の好きな場所はStanley Park, Coal Harbour, Grouse Mountain, Granville Island, UBC, Kits...まだ沢山あるけど、リストが長すぎになってしまう(笑)。私はwreck beach1回か2回ぐらい行ったことありますよ。でもnudeで行かなかった(でもあちらのほうはね、nudeのおじいさんとおばあさんしかないよ、残念(笑))そこで私の友達がBBQをして夕焼け見た。
Your blog entry made me envious you've had the best "Canada Day Party" over here in Japan.
Give me a shout if you are throwing an another party next year: I will do my best to show up (and if I say I do it, I usually make it happen *grin*)
The picture is a picture from a bulding near Pender, looking towards Stanley Park. The view also sort'a looks like Yaletown doesn't it? Yaletown is a pretty nice place to hang out.
I'll let you know the next time I do a Canada Day party in Sendai!
仙台に来る前に、バンクーバーと仙台の気候は同じと思ったけど、仙台の天気はバンクーバーよりはげしい。冬の方がもうちょっと寒いと夏の方は暑くって湿気が高い。But despite that, Sendai is a pretty nice place to live. I like the people and nature here.
