sun yat-sen

 On my last Saturday in Vancouver my mom and I spent the day downtown doing lots of really “vancouvery” things, like spending time in Stanley Park, and walking around Gastown and Chinatown. One of my favourite little spots in the city is the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese gardens. It’s one of a few places in the city where you can actually forget you’re in the middle of an urban area [at least for a while]. And when you do end up noticing the city again, the contrast is pretty amazing.

My sister only has three more full days with me here in NL and tomorrow we’re going to do something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time: Kröller-Müller museum and Hoge Veluwe National Park. I can’t believe school starts already next week, I’m hardly ready for it!
