The Adventures of Nacchan and Chiru in Canadia!

Aug 12, 2005 18:45

Work is okay today, so I am writing this up while I'm doing work. It took me a long time, but I reset the time.

Now, if you guys remember who Nacchan is...



Yes. However, she told me she wanted to go to Canada, like this.



So she did! It was her first trip to meet Chiru, another pinky. See, the thing is, Chiru lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Nacchan lives in Santa Cruz/Fremont, California, USA! It seemed impossible to travel to Vancouver on her own (she was planning to walk!) so when she found out I was going to Vancouver, she was excited, but her face looked the same to me. "I have an online friend there," she said. Aww. How cute.

On the day of the flight to Vancouver, I got a text message. "See you at the YVR!" Silly tickingclock! My flight won't be for another 2 hours-- and I won't get there in another 4! But awww, that was sure nice of her.

I got to the airport and it was an on-time flight. Got my ticket, everything. I think I could hear Nacchan complaining how she had to be treated like carry-on baggage. Oh well! This was the only way! You don't have a passport, Nacchan!

Being a bit early, I went to go eat my dinner. They had a new food court that was built, so I tried it out.

I traveled from SFO (San Francisco International) to YVR (Vancouver International).

Upon getting to YVR, it was probably around 11:10PM or so. I got out around 11:30PM. MJ and her friend, Ben, picked me up from the airport.

I let Nacchan out to have some fresh air, and boy was she tired! I took my shower, and went to sleep for that night. I stayed at MJ's this whole time.

The next day, I left on a bus by myself to visit _spacecoyote.

Nacchan asked once when Chiru would be free, and I told her maybe soon. She'd meet her in two more days!

Somewhere around those first two days, I got my money exchanged to Canadian currency, bought new shoes (comfy!) for 35USD, and bought a few toys from Crystal Mall.

The first night of fireworks came, located at the beach. I met a stygien, karasukami... and a bunch of other people I don't know their LJs! We went to the beach and hung out there until the time came.

On the way to the beach, there's this store called Cupcakes. I couldn't help but remember wenlet and took photos.













This was taken at the beach! Nacchan's hanging out on one of the bedsheets that were put on top of the sand at the beach. "Stop taking pictures of me."



Nacchan hanging out under a large beach umbrella.



"So when are the fireworks starting? I will take a nap."



I took my chance to dig her a hole. She said nothing.



However, Mashiro was a little worried... Nacchan didn't say anything to her, either! Oh wait, she did. "Shut up."



I took this shot of how many people there were at the time. This is nothing compared to the final day of fireworks! You can see even more people in the background; they are little specks...



Saboo is reading DG and my crack comic!!!




I got bored and dug Nacchan yet another hole.




That first night of fireworks was represented by Team Canada. It was amazing! They shot the fireworks off a large boat.

I hung out with MJ after that night of fireworks. MJ's classes just ended, so it wasn't bad!

The next day, I couldn't help but go back to Crystal Mall! Here's a neato figure I found that wasn't for sale...



It's of Saber and her master, from Fate Stay/Night. I will find more info about this game! You can see some random limbs I added on the figures. That shiny thing on her shoulder is Ed's metal arm.

I left Nacchan at Crystal Mall, as she told me that she'd be fine by herself. Okay, if that's what the pinky wants!

After that day, I got back to MJ's. The next day was me lounging around as I was very, very tired, and I ended up taking a sweet nap. MANGO JUICE, stop staring at me while I sleep! This is not another one of your experiments!!

At MJ's house, I talked to people on MSN. This is where I met a few of her friends, like Monica, Will, and Ryan ( jade_sabre).

The second day of fireworks! Once more, it meant staying and hanging around the beach. The next time I came to the beach though, there were lots of card games... and...



Nacchan! You found Chiru! Awesome! This is just them lounging at the beach on top of a towel...

I played quite a few rounds of Big 2! It was most enjoyable... haven't played since high school.



Chiru tried on Nacchan's hat! She is still very cute.



"You're all very blurry right now."

Sweden's fireworks display was also very cool! After that... the next day, I followed MJ to work. At her school. UBC. University of British Columbia...





You know, thinking of "British Columbia" is a funny thing. When I was young, I had this sticker, and I thought BC was the coolest place ever. I don't know why, I had no idea what kind of place it was, but it sounded so cool, just by name. So I told my parents I would go there someday. Well. Now I've been here twice!



...I just had to take a photo of it. It is in two colors. It is not shaped like the ones where I live.



Ben. I don't think he knew I took this photo.

So after UBC (and a visit to the UBC arcaaade) we went to karaoke!!



YOU GO BOA, GOO!! Koooreeaann powersss!



Chiru: "It's dark in here."
Nacchan: "Don't make me sing."

Ah, yes, another day. We went bike riding!







I took this at the park! Boy, is it beautiful. These shots was created in mind for DG... she loves this stuff and I thought it would be good reference for her.





GEESE!!



Killer black squirrel!!!

Okay. This was a fun thing that I will not do very often.

I went to space's house to sleep-- not for very long. We woke up at little before 5, and got pho at 5AM!! Just because WE CAN. It was good pho...

The day felt really long, and as we both didn't have much sleep, we ended up sleeping on some benches at Canada Place.



Nacchan: "..."
Chiru: "I'm cold. This bench is too hard!"



Canada Place.



SULFUR PILE!! It looked green in the early morning.



That's the seawall. I biked past there.

Okay. There were the fireworks for China, then after that the Grand Finale. Sweden ended up winning.

I think this is a good enough jist of my trip.



Chiru helped me clean out the drawer. I packed. "Am I going to see you again?" she asks me.



Chiru: "Am I going to see YOU again?"

Nacchan: "Uhhh..."



Nacchan: "I'll be online."

Chiru: "Oh. Okay. I will be, then, too!"



Chiru: "Is this my plane?"



Their last night together. ;_; It is creepy that they sleep with their eyes open.



My Narutard dog, which has a headband on its arm (was on the forehead, but it looked dorky), with Gaara on his other arm, aaand, that's my travel book with a very cool drawing on it. By the way, I don't watch Naruto, so I know nothing about it!




My last night at MJ's house, I decided to take a bunch of photos! Of her! AWWW, CUTE SHOT! Her Korean powers helped us get a room at the Korean karaoke place. I should have taken more photos in Vancouver...



The turtle that made it into the vacation book. It looks so sad, and uhh, wauugh. It was one of the softest things eevvar.



Chiru: "I'll miss you! ;_;"

Nacchan: "Check out my bag, it's yellow!"



MJ's room. A part of it. Hey, there's something at the calendar.



It's one of space's drawings! I decided to add something to the bottom of it.

Oh Caret. Where have you been all my life?

I would like to go again. And yes, this isn't all the details of my trip, but I do hope you had enjoyed it.

I might post pictures of what I got. Or not. Or maybe.

canada, art, nacchan, life
