O Canada!
This is a long over-due entry. If anyone was wondering why I was missing-in-action from August 17 - 23, I was touring Canada with about 30 other chinese people on a huge charter bus hahah. There were a lot of trees. and lakes. and fresh air. and hot asian-boy tourists. I liked Canada. :)
In order to find something to eat in Canada my family and I had to wander around in whatever town we were in that day (since we were in a different hotel and town EVERDAY) and that was so awesome, 'cause then we got to look around more. Canada's just like So. Cal, only .. cleaner
On the first day, I hopped on a plane for 3 hours to Vancouver with the family and then went to the hotel, found some local resturant for dinner, then slept.
Our hotel was located on Sexsmith Rd. and Bridgeport Rd.
The back of this really cute guy..
On the second day, we went to town famous for it's "ice wine" and I got to taste red wine. the wine made me feel all warm inside. lol
Me, next to some old man's face carved in wood.
Then we drove to this fruit farm and got a tour of their famous apple ochards haha
On the third day, we spent like 3-4 hours on the bus and all we saw were TREES, everwhere.
A few hours and hundred million trees later, we finally went to a rest stop.
Then when everyone was done peeing.. We went to this resort place by a lake called Emerald Lake (it was so pretty there).
My mother and I at Emerald Lake.
The water was so amazingly clear at the lake.
We then drove to a famous town called Banff.
A river at Banff
This one is gorgeous
A rainbow :)
We went to this park called Canada Place.
This pretty little pond in Canada Place
Afterwards, we went to ride to the top of a moutain somewhere lol. I got to ride in the chair lift, it was so awesome o_o
Lake Louise and a glaicer from my view in the chair lift.
A little brook (taken while on the chair lift)
Me and my brother at the top of the moutain
On the Fourth Day, we went to another lake (Lake Louise) and an resort next to it. (there were so many cute guys there, but I couldn't take a picture of them 'cause that would've been embarrassing and besides, my parents were there. lol)
It was really cold there. my dad know how to take a picture -_- (my brother and I)
My mother and I.
A Japanese guy's awesome pants.

My brother and I on the bridge, over the river.
After Lake Louise, we went to ANOTHER lake. Lake Peter (i think?), the color of the water was so weird.
As we were getting back on the bus, I managed to get a shot of this cutie.
Later we visited a glacier and I got to walk on ice :) In order to get to the snow though, we had to take this HUGE bus with like HUGE wheels.
See how big it is compared to my father? hahaha
The moutain from inside the monster vehicle.
The glacier on the mountain
The melted ice
My fingers were numb afterwards.
Before we went on the glacier, everyone from the tour bus took a group photo, I miss them ... ><;;
Can you find me?
Me in front of the glacier, alone T_T
It's the Titanic!
A pretty lake somewhere close to the "Titantic" Mountain
On Aug 22nd, we got on a huge boat and went to Victoria Island
Rode a horse-drawn carriage around the town. This horse's name was Mike.
While on the carriage.
Went inside the Parliament Building
A stained glass window in the Parliament Building (it has a rejected emblem on it. Look at the top where the sun and the british flag are. If anyone is familiar with the say, "The sun never sets on the British Empire." you would know why).
The ceiling.
Later that day, we drove to this beautiful place called Butchart Gardens.
It's a tiger!
Look! Deer!
This was the Italian Garden.
The view of the famous "Sunken Garden"

On the morning of the last day, I learned about how white men abused chinese people and forced them to work on the railroads and how they were treated like shit :( it was sad
A train near where the last spike was finally driven into the railroad.
Then we went to some ginseng place..
Look we're ginseng! (it looks like I have a penis. -_-)
Later we went to this salmon tasting place and saw some interesting postcards/photos in a salmon place..

At the airport, on the way home. There were some nifty stone luggage that my brother and I tried to pick up.
Oh, also, there was this pretty little girl that seemed to like my brother. hahaha she had a really, really, cute big brother. ><;;
Those were some fun seven days.
