Vancouver Island - Victoria



The transportation from Vancouver to Victoria is like this :

1.Take skytrain to Bridgeport Station. (Canada line)
2.Take #620 bus to Tsawwassen.
3.Take B.C. Ferries to Swartz Bay, Victoria. ($15.55, tax included)
4.Take bus to Victoria downtown


Frankly, it's a very long trip and I felt so tired to get there. When it was my turn to take Ferries, I've waited for 1.5 hours and I need another 1.5 hours to arrive in Victoria. The total time is around 4~6 hours depends on how long you will wait for your bus and Ferries which is full sometimes and then you have to wait for the next one.

The night views in Victoria. 

It's awesome. Amazing.
I wanna ask myself can I stay in such a charming city, Victoria one more night ? I lived in Ocean Island Hostel for 1 night but I wanna stay longer...

The Butchart Garden.


I can't imagine that such a beautiful garden, Buchart Garden, was settled in early 20th.
And, today I saw classmates in front of the garden. I can't believe that we all live in the same hostel.
So happy to run into my schoolmates and get so many memorable pictures in Victoria.

Jericho Park


Happy Mother's Day ! (Canada)

We ate BBQ on the beach and play football in the Jericho Park.

Thanks for my homefamily's treatment.



After the party was finished, I kept staying to photo Jericho Park, sunset of English Bay, night views of downtown.

I felt tranquil and peaceful when I enjoyed the wonderful night.

Stanley Park



I joined a school activity to come here. There were so many Brazilians here. We rode bikes together in Standley Park, seeing the famous totem poles....

The way to ride is dangerous cus a lot of people were walking, jogging, skating on the same way in the same time.

Our time was not enough and so I think I'd come again to see sunset of English Bay and the night views of north Vancouver. ^^

GasTown



GasTown and Steaming Clock

It's the first Friday since I've come and so happy to be here with new friends. And it will be wonderful if there is a coffee shop to stay and take a rest. But it's so crowded everywhere, especially Starbucks.

I think GasTown is a nice place to buy souvenir and go shopping.

I came here with 2 friends, 1 Japanese and 1 Korean. They are my most familiar friends here.

What a dream city, Vancouver. It's an unbelievable feeling to study and have a new life here. I fell in love with this city in just 3 days since I came here.

2012 Vancouver Marathon


Queen Elizabath Park.

I came here not for running but took photos. Marathon is my favorite sport but I knew this activity too late, just before I came to this city. So I couldn't be a runner or a volunteer.


I have a dream. I wish that one day I will come back and join Vancouver Marathon.

Keep fighting, the runners.
