Toronto seems to be getting Fall. Actually, I am feeling cold like putting
on a down jacket or a coat because the temperature dropped to under 10℃
some days. I suppose that winter is coming quickly :) The winter is
the second time... Nope, arriving on last February so it is the 1.5 times.
This winter I'll really go to snowboard!!!
Before coming the winter, I was given a vacation and went to Vancouver
in trip. Vancouver is a familiar city more than Toronto for Japanese as
the city hold the Olympic game in winter last year.
English Bay
The part of difference of Toronto is to have sea. I could smell a sea breeze
and listen sounds of wave I haven't seen both of them at "English Bay"!
There are driftwoods, a bronze statues feeling funky...
Mention to the statues, to take a picture with posing like it is standard
in tourist. Of course, I did! The place where there were many couples
and families at is peaceful. It is great that you see sunset at the place.
Stanley Park
"Stanley Park" is the most famous place in Vancouver sounds like you
must come! Sea, Forest and totem poles!!! It has the course of cycling.
You can rent a cycle at near shop provides to rent bicycles and go cycling.
I fun cycling with choosing a tandem bicycle. I don't know why lol
I did the tandem with my friend whom I know since I was child.
That was so funny because I've never tried "tandem" and two guys who was
a classmate each other in Japan are doing "tandem" in Canada. Though
Toronto also has the service you can rent a bicycle, I really like cycling
in the nature! As Stanley Park has huge fields and I could see less than
a half of them, I would like to go around in forest slowly if I have a time.
Lynn Canyon Park
The valley has a big bridge. "Lynn Canyon Park" is similar to
"Capilano Suspension Bridge" where is the famous place like Stanley Park.
My friend who lives in Vancouver told me and I got there. You need to
buy a ticket, around $30. In contrast, the place is free! You can get
by bus on the sea called "Sea Bus" like a ferry. The bridge is the excellent
view which hangs on deep forest in long trees like it could be "The Canada".
It made me thrilling as so swing and so high!
It was in deep forest that's why you should be care of bears.
Vancouver is wonderful nature. The nature is really one of part is difference
of Toronto. At the trip, I enjoyed nature like "this is Canada". There are
skiing mountains at near there so that is cool to live~
Meet Again
By the way, though we went around with 4 people including me in the end
at the trip, it was a strange trip which we joined individually and left
individually. Because one of them lives in Vancouver who is my friend since
in Japan and arrived in Canada on same time with me. Another one who
is also my friend, we met at our language school in Toronto and spent longest
time with in Toronto, lefts to Japan. Last one who was a classmate when
we were students of an elementary school was coming to Canada in his
vacation. We joined each at the day of difference at the place of difference.
The trip had the mean "Meeting Again", "Leaving", mixed variety things for me.
Especially, The meeting my friend lives in Vancouver again was thoughtful.
He is also same generation with me and came to Canada using
"Working & Holiday" on same time even though difference of an aim.
We met before our abroad trough other friends who we know both because
of the reason that we were going to Canada in similar case. We quit our job
to go abroad and had a promise "we will meet again in Canada!" easily
at the pub with sharing anxiety and hope. I was so happy to realize the promise.
The first thing made me thoughtful was to be able to meet again with lough
and confidence though being changing our aim and thought which we
thought at coming. I am just wondering when we will meet again next time...
Thanks a lot for giving us a good time with our some of selfish in Vancouver.
I would like to make next time.
And I really thanks my friends are living in Japan for giving the time to meet.
We could have wonderful "Meet Again". I am looking forward to having
a time to talk about our story to them again!
There were many thing at the trip. The time to turn on is coming in my mind.
I just achieved I could have a vacation at my job and the promise to meet
again was realized in Vancouver. Also I could meet my close friend
from Japan and hear about my friends lives in Japan. In addition, one of
close friend in Toronto who I have knew since we were language students
has gone to Japan so I expect my friend's connection in Toronto will be
changed dramatically. Anyway, It seems to lose rather friends...
I lost my cell phone in the trip and lost my contacts of my friends in Toronto
like hitting me on good time...
Fortunately, I went through hard working in this a couple of months.
So that I think I didn't take a time to meet new friend enough. My life in
"Working & Holiday" is just in the second half. I should back to
a beginner's spirit once again and find to meet a new friend with the
mind which I started.
...But the days when I was worry about "be fired" also back because some
bugs was found on previous project nowadays lol
The beginner's spirit should be kept!
Talk to you soon!
