O Canada!


My trip to Canada was memorable! I thought returning to Vancouver, this time around, I would be a traveler and not a tourist. But, the beautiful sights brought the tourist out of me. I couldn't help but to take tons of pictures! I went whale watching; starting point at the charming town of Stevenston. I strolled around Stanley Park in Vancouver, crossed the Capilano Suspension Bridge, boarded the Whistler Mountaineer seeing the spectacular views along the way, then took the ferry to Victoria where I became at awe with the awesome sights at Butchart Gardens.
Now, I know a little bit more about Canada than before. I learned that Canadian bacon is actually ham :), their currency has a higher value than ours, unemployment rate is lower (I think they just have more retiree there ;)), and "Eh" is a mandatory word that needs to be used to complete all sentences ihhiihihihii.. Most of all, I found our Canadian friends to be extremely friendly and helpful. With this note, I would like to dedicate these pictures to my two favourite Canadians, Drs. Gauthier and Kilmer.

Love,
Thao
