Hello!
I was looking through my phone and saw pictures that I took from Canada! This was middle of July 2011. My church friends and I decided to take a trip to Canada before summer ended! My first trip out of the country with just friends! (I know. Had strict Asian parents.. what can I say. ;] ) Canada has got to be one of my favorite place in the world! (aside from San Diego!) It is a great place to live if you love nature and scenery!
I took couple pictures from here and there. I will be uploading non-food pictures!! Only because I want to share with you guys how beautiful Canada was! :D
Like always, feel free to leave comments if you like! :]
Enjoy!

Right out side the apartment we stayed at. Everything is walkable! so close to the bus station, restaurants, markets, and sky train! |

Went to Canada for a trip, and we could not survive one day without Korean food... so we came here! Insadong BBQ & Seafood Korean Restaurant. |
 |
My favorite Korean food... Soy bean paste soup! It's delicious! |
 |
Mmm.. My other favorite... Bo Sam... it's literally cooked pork with the marinated radish (the red thing) . you wrap these two in the pickled Nappa Lettuce (yellow thing) So. Good. |
