So I’ve arrived in Vancouver and am having a great time. First day here Amanda and I spent the afternoon at library square watching the hockey on tv. That sport is so fast. Of the 16 goals scored (in a very one sided match) I actually saw about 7. The others happened so fast and from such unexpected angles that I struggled to see them even on replay. Oh well….still got to work on being a proper Canadian I suppose.
Although, the barman did show me how to shotgun a red bull – which apparently is a fairly canadian thing to do. hehe.

Spent a fair bit of time yesterday on Granville Island which was great. Caught the aquabus over there, and then had a few hours walking round the shops and food market. Had a great salmon bagel for lunch. Since it was a lovely sunny day I walked back across the bridge to the city. Great view of the city, mountains and bay from that high up. Also saw my first every (partially) frozen over pond on the way back. It’s the little things that are cool!

Temperature wise I’m doing ok. Its a bit weird, as some times I’m really cold went making the transition from inside to outside, and sometimes it’s like walking outside in melbourne – no difference. Haven’t needed to wear the big coat yet.

Anyhow, on with the day. I think we’re heading to the suspension bridge. Or I might go check out the anthropology museum.
