[Current Location: Vancouver BC, Canada]

Yup, I'm outta the country, here at Josh Koh's place actually. This morning my parents & I drove up to Vancouver, since it's only like 2 hours north of Seattle. Got here in the early afternoon, met up with my mom's cousin's family, then headed over to Josh Koh's. My parents left to go do the Chinese family dinner thing, while Josh & I basically spent the afternoon around Vancouver.

The weather was GREAT... upper 70s, hardly any humidity, & a nice lil breeze. Ok, so I guess it's consider "hot" for them up here in Canada, but compared to Chicagoland, it was great. Took the bus around, walked around downtown, visited a mall in downtown Vancouver. That was rather amusing... I'll have some pictures posted eventually when I get back stateside. Heh, yea, seeing what these crazy Canadians sell in malls, lol XD. hehe. Then for dinner, Josh took me to this all you can eat Korean BBQ/Japanese sushi place XD XD... bet I'm makin some of you jealous. Kinda pricy... like maybe $16-17US, if I did the math right. But it was GOOD food. So much meat, so little time.

Afterwards, Megan (friend from Wheaton, for those who don't know) met us downtown, & drove us around some more. Went to a park/garden, walked around & saw the pretty flowers (pictures to come eventually too). Then stopped off to get some bubble tea XD, and walked around some more. Y'kno, it's not like we "did a whole lot," but I thoroughly enjoyed it. In part it was just the beautiful weather & scenery (and the basic change of scenery... mountains & water, not cornfields)... but just walking around with Josh & Megan, talking as we went... enjoying the company of friends whom you haven't seen in a while. In short, it was restful, which was what I wanted in "vacation" anyway. I guess I've never been the really "adventurous" type that wanted to run around & do lots of stuff.

So yea... that's the really short version (because I really need to get to sleep) of today. Tomorrow I go with Josh to class, then drive back to the US in the afternoon. See you all on the other side of the border
