Vancouver, BC, Canada - 30th August 2010

I have already visited Vancouver's Chinatown, but Roderich has not, so I showed him aorund and told him about some of the sites. However, there were a couple sites that I had not seen before.
This memorial is for those who fought in wars, and also for those who worked on the railroad in the 19th century (which is why many Chinese came to Canada in the first place.
This is a giant abacus. The beads are made from jade.

This little mini town was sitting near the road. It is ToyVoyager-sized!

Another day, another Bard on the Beach play.
This time we were seeing Falstaff, which is a condensed version of King Henry IV Parts 1 and 2. Basically, they took out all of the dry bits.
Once again there were no pictures allowed inside, but it was a very enjoyable play.

We met up with Smaug and his visiting TVs for coffee and to explore Chinatown. I have already visited Chinatown, but everyone visited the Sun Yat Sen Garden together.

Abby took me to a very special event. A PostSecret live event! Frank Warren got on stage and told everyone stories and showed pictures of never-before seen secrets, then opened up the floor to people in the audience who wanted to tell their secrets.
I did get my picture taken in the theatre, but it was so dark that you couldn't tell I was there, so instead I am showing you two pictures without me in them that are slightly better quality.
After the event, I got to meet Frank!

It's time to harvest the grapes in the garden. We all came out to help.
After playing for a while, Abby said that we were there to help, not supervise, and I was put to work.
It took a while, but I think we did a good job.

As you may know, Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October. It's not really a huge deal here, but, as one of Abby's professors said, 'Thanksgiving is the only day of the year where every single Canadian eats the same thing for dinner.' This is mostly true. Usually there is a turkey, but they take forever to cook and nobody like turkey here anyway, so there was chicken, along with potatoes, brussel sprouts, stuffing and candied yams.
I took some of everything.
