Hey everyone!. There may be some who will read this journal and some who won't. For those interested what's going on in Vancouver here it is what I've been going through.....
After a long and detailed inspection to my luggage at Mexico City's airport and six hours of flight, I went back in time two hours, just to discover that Canada…..it's actually another world.
The "urban legends" of this country are true. People are very kind. The streets and the air are both clean. I'm not scared about taking the bus and thinking that the person next to me will kidnap me just because I'm cute. Or hang-on tight to the handles in the bus because the bus driver is racing to pick up more passengers.
Here you're not judged because of your appereance. If you are Black, White, or even both….. like me. You may fit in any social group. We're all equally diferente here.
It's true that everything is much more expensive. I can't get bambu very easy, so I have to deal with the Italian coucine my hosts in this beautiful country cook for me every day. Not that I'm complaining about food, I LOVE food!!!!! It's just that maybe it's too much for a little panda like me. Enough of food…..I'm getting hungry.
In this two month tour in Vancouver, I've had the best experiences of my life. I lived the exilarating world of football and hockey. Fans are as loyal and passionate to their teams as they are back home.
Stanley Park. What a beatiful place to be. Walking on a yellow-red leaf carpet hearing the "crack" sound as you walk by. Here i've seen many squirrels, they're everywhere. I get a little homesick because they remind me of home. But I've managed not to chase them; as I did in our last tour in Michoacan, I don't want to get lost again.
Here in Vancouver they have their own Torre Latino. A very high tower with a 360 degrees view of the whole city. If you are as small as I am you'll feel that rush of greatness standing tall over the city.
I also went to the Aquarium. Where I made new aquatic friends. Seals, Otters, Dolphins and Belugas. Here I bought my first canadian souvenir. A red hoodie, I look very good in it and it keeps me warm from the chillly weather.
There's still a lot to see here, I'm really looking foreward for my trip to the Rocky Mountains. I`ll keep you posted as soon as I return. Meanwhile enjoy the site!
