I decided to ask my lovely classmates to tell me the highlights of their stay so far and apparently Team 12 has taken a liking of the fair city of Vancouver. Vancouverites are very friendly people and each of them has a story to tell. They chat on the bus and in the streets and aren’t afraid of giving compliments. If they like your hair they tell you so. This is something we plan on taking with us back home.
Vancouver has a big Asian population and the Kaospilots are definitely enjoying one of the many benefits this multi-cultural society has to offer, namely food. Sushi has fast become one of our favorites and every week we discover a new place that sells yummy sushi. But we are not just eating healthy and fresh sushi all the time. No, there are temptations everywhere. On Denman Street there is a little shop that only sells cupcakes, you can buy delicious caramelized apples at the Chocolate Factory on Robson Street and at Hamburger Mary’s on Davie Street you can get the best blueberry milkshake around. If you order a large one you could be sitting there for hours enjoying it because portions in this continent are quite bigger than what we are used to.
To burn off all those calories Team 12 hits the slopes. Whistler, Grouse Mountain and Cypress Hill have all been visited by Kaospilots either skiing or snowboarding. Ski sports are not the only thing we’ve been experimenting with; dodgeball, ice hockey and Tae kwon do are next on the list.
Right now spring is on it’s way. Proof of that are the beautiful Cherry Blossoms. The whole city is pink. The Cherry Blossoms are not the only pink you will see in the city. Davie Street, which is known as the gay street in Vancouver, has taken pink to another level. Pink bus stops and pink public trash bins make the street one of the most colorful ones in the city.
Now you’ve gotten a little peek into our life outside the projects. It’s a good life.
