Vancouver weekend

this is kinda late... but I haven't been interneting as much lately so meh...
     Saturday we went to Vancouver, we missed the faerie... but only just.... When we did get to Vancouver Stefan and I went to the Aquarium. The kinda have a sine problem... there will be one... then you walk for a bit pass like  3 or four different paths before finding a new sine telling you to turn around back from where you came... don't even ask Stefan about it... it really frustrated him. We had even worse problems with that on Sunday... we did find the place though and saw Fishies... :D yay fish.
     We had dinner at a nice burger place and found the tail end of a street party. Vancouver and Nanaimo shuts down really early. The mall here closes on weekdays at 5:30!! Like what? How do you make any money closing that early? We spend less than 30 min at the casino itself Stefan lost some money... then played gameboy (dragon quest IX)
     Sunday we were going to go to the PNE but I didn't think there was enough time so we just went to the place for circ de sole. We spend an hour and a half wondering trying to find food... we found the Olympics village (the place where the athlete lived when the Olympics were happening), which is kinda like really fancy housing, and kind like fancy empty space that has been forgotten about... there was no food anywhere... we also got stuck with watter between us and what looked like a place to find food the only way across was a big highway bridge... then luck being with us we found an Aquabus! A little boat that takes you across the watter. It was cute. We did manage to find food at the bottom of a hotel and really quickly eat it before going to our show. It was fun. Then we went home, more boats and more gameboy!!
     Vancouver has also taken the green fad to the next level. It annoys me enough already but in Vancouver they have deiced to blame everything on YOU! YOU waste to much energy. YOU use too much gas. YOU produce too much carbon dioxide. YOU don't recycle enough (even though we as a Provence makes it way hard for you to recycle...) Its kinda annoying... It got to the point where I wanted to tell everyone who mentioned how bad I am to the world everything I try to do... and it makes what I understand of the recycling program even more crazy... you pay a deposit on can's/glass/maybe other stuff and a Recycling tax. Then get the despot back if you bring the cans back... but with 20 cans + some glass and plastic I got like 1.30.... I don't know how many people will recycle in order to get one droller and thirty cents...  I don't even think the moneys worth it I just cant stand to throw it out!
   Anyways that was Vancouver... So...well...ya...
