O Canada~

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.

Our Brunch... at 3 pm. :)

On the bus towards Stanley Park! 

Stanley park! oh, how I missed thee..

TREES!

MORE TREES! and people :)

They have a small water park (below) and this giant dryer! you press that little button and walk in, and it literally dries you :)

Children's water park

sigh.. beautiful.

Read the receipt. $106.80 to ride the ferry... Did not do research on how much it would cost to go there... :( 

Heading back to Vancouver.. missed our ferry by 2 minutes... so we had to wait in the parking lot for another hour to get on the next ferry... 

Farmers market at Granville Island

Cherries!

Coke balls. These are like mini jawbreakers.. except. it's a candy ball that tastes somewhat like coke! Something about it.. is addicting.. :)

Truffles!
