TRIP #2: Van City Baby!
This time Jess (chem eng from Saskamatoon) volunteered to be my travel buddy. My cousin Naveen picked us up (he's lives in Metrotown). I quickly realized that driving in Vancouver is all about being on the defensive...Naveen almost got side- swiped by 3....sorry I've got to say it....female asian drivers. Yep. (I do realize I fall into this category (minus the SUV) so it was THAT bad) haha.
Metrotown is such a great area! Naveen's condo is SURROUNDED by asian restaurants and all you can eat SUSHI! Man I get waaay tooo excited over food!
From there we went to Granville Island to check out a brewery tour (Naveen's idea - the lush).JJ. But they told us the brewery wasn't in operation on Saturday but they'd gladly take our money and give us samples....yah no. We walked around a bit, grabbed fish n chips (greasy goodness) then headed onward to the Market area of Granville. The Market was soooo busy! It reminded me of the Farmer's market in Calgary, but with more fresh fruit & fish. From there we checked out a dock area that had a ridiculous number of birds. Apparently I have a fear of most birds, especially when they fly straight at my head.
I'm convinced they're evil & sense fear. I guess Jess found this pretty funny since she took pictures while I was trying to duck/dodge the birds/while having a panic attack. From there we caught a street performer (OUTSIDE - My god it was freezing and the poor girl was in tights) She was pretty funny and yelled after people for being cheap bastards if they stiffed her. Poor Naveen then drove us in to Little India, because I thought Jess might want to see it....but it was too cold outside! So then took off to Granville Island to watch improv!!! I love improv! And in comparison to what I've seen before, this should have been professional improv! They did a "So you think you can dance" theme (but for improv), it was hilarious. They brought up audience members: one lady was already drunk from being on her staggette. It was good fun!
We then crashed a house party Naveen was going to. Jess and I were unfortunately anti-social cause we were soooo tired!Sorry for being lame Navu!
