CXXII : For the nth time

Pasta time at Anton's Pasta Bar in Burrnaby before heading to Capilano Suspension Bridge for the nth time ;)

   

CV: Stamp Collecting

A few weeks ago me and some co-workers went out to do the tourism Challenge. I actually finished mine the week before but since it was my day off I decided to come with them.

So we met at the Canada Place where we were supposed to take the Hop On-Hop Off Buses but all the buses were full so we ended up taking the shuttle to the Capilano Suspension Bridge..

with Bryan and Jean

I didnt bring a camera so most of the pics are stolen from Jean and Joshua or taken through my phone

The last time I went here there was only 5 people in that bridge but look how many there are today..

We went back to Downtown for lunch at a Japanese Restaurant somewhere in Robson.. I told you I became really picky with food after Culinary school.. so I didnt really enjoyed the food. ><

with Bryan and the really bland Miso soup

We then went to Fairmont Pacific Rim (work) to meet up with Joshua and get a stamp from the Cafe. 

Then we went to Gastown and rode one of those Tour buses

We got off somewhere near Granville Island and rode a ferry to Vanier Park..

while waiting for the ferry

Posing with the displays at the Museum of Vancouver .. dont tell anyone I went up

and Bryan did a better job XD

We then rode the trolley to Chinatown --- Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden and walked all the way to the Vancouver Lookout to get their final stamp and our Tourism challenge ID.

And here's a random sel-ca~~ hehe IDK what you call these mirrors but I love em.. instant fisheye effect!

CI : In the Mountain with my 4" Heels

If you remember last year I did the Tourism challenge with my Mom and 2 of her friends [click] Well this year, I finally got to have my own passport and i kind of promised my boyfriend to take him with me. XD Luckily we both got Tuesday off. 

So basically we get this little booklet passport thingy with a list of participating attractions and hotels around BC. What we have to do is visit these attractions (sometimes they give out questions to answer) then youll get a stamp. For more info about the tourism challenge -- [click]

My boyfriend picked me up at around 12 noon, He couldn't get up any earlier as he finished work at 1:30am the previous day :/ . So anyhoo we drove all the way to Amato Gelato Cafe... to park LOL. Science World was just a few minute walk away and its also part of the Challenge so we decided to go there first.

I didn't get to take much pictures as I was having too much fun being a kid again :)) So after answering the questions and getting the stamp we head back to his car. Not really its his twin brother's car XD And since it's hard to go around Downtown with a car we decided to go North.
