I am finally back from Canada. Sorry I didn't blog for so long as I didn't bring my laptop. It was an awesome trip! We went to Vancouver and Toronto, as well as Niagara Falls in Ontario. It was great! I saw so many things, ate many things and enjoyed the whole experience.
I would say Canada is a very nice and beautiful place. The people are super nice and friendly. It is very domesticated and docile in Vancouver and Toronto is slightly more hectic. There is plenty to do in Canada and there is the great outdoors! We went hiking! And managed to sample the wonderful food! The weather was sunny with a slight chill the second week. It is amazing... you could be in the sun but still feel cold!
I would say the best things I did in Canada were outdoor related, like hiking in Deep Cove, Niagara Falls and a picnic in Stanley Park. I also enjoyed a baseball game (take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd) and exploring downtown with my brother.

We went to Timmy's very often... it was practically around every corner. I enjoyed pancakes with maple syrup at Fran's. The baseball game was between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees. It was so fun!
My brother's dog went to Deep Cove and Stanley Park with us and was a good boy other than going crazy at Stanley Park. I bought heaps of toileteries at Bath and Bodyworks and drugstores. Like OGX shampoo, Neutrogena, Clean and Clear and St Ives. My brother went crazy at the discount outlet.
We stayed with my youngest brother in Richmond. We actually bought an air bed and a mattress from Costco and Walmart for us to sleep on and he returned it after we went home! Our flight to Toronto was 5 hours and we were there for 6 days. It was interesting to say the least. We saw many homeless people on the streets and went to a few dodgy areas... which makes it all the more fun!
I am not jet-lagged anymore, I wake up 2 hours earlier now too. And I wanna be a vegan after my experience in Canada. I think it's because I saw some vegan activists in Toronto showing videos of animals being slaughtered. It was so gross and I don't crave meat anymore. Will be a vegan for a week and see how it goes from there.
Back to real life now! It was an amazing trip and I enjoyed it thoroughly!
