I’m in Vancouver now for almost one week, and it’s great. The people are nice, the weather is good, and there’s a lot to see here. Yesterday I went to Stanley Park, a huge park close to downtown Vancouver. We walked around the park and sat in the grass. It’s a great place to relax, and a lot of civilians of Vancouver will probably go there to do so.

The day before yesterday, Kelly and I went to the Granville Island public market. We went to the Granville station by Skytrain, which is pretty similar to the London underground, except that it is above the streets and the trains are controlled by computers and not by human drivers. Then we took the Seabus to Granville Island. There were a lot of stands there, selling food, handmade jewelry and souvenirs. On our way back to the Seabus, there was a comedian giving a performance. He juggled with flaming torches and showed some other tricks.

What I’ve seen in Vancouver until now is really impressive. One thing that shows off is that everything is ‘big’ here. In the Netherlands everything is a lot smaller, like the trees, buildings, bridges and cars. It’s great to see something of other parts of the world.

I’ve uploaded some photos, which can be found by clicking here.
