Woke up early in the morning to start our sightseeing! I felt so sleepy though and my bed was really really soft and comfy. I didn't want to leave it at all. Our breakfast was at the cafeteria where we were served potatoes, bacon, egg, bread and orange juice. It was pretty good and I started my day all energized and full. We took the sky-train to Richmond. The sky-train is very similar to the subway in Toronto but most of train's path are not underground but outside. Not only that, the train was so much nicer and faster. It also looked way nicer than our subway as well. First off, we arrived at some harbour place which resembled Hong Kong's harbour. There was nothing interesting. I decided to try out the gelato and I got ripped off after paying $7 for a cup of ice cream. I was expecting a big cup of ice cream but they only gave me like two scoops. I felt like I was scammed. After that, I found another gelato store which sold ice cream for $2.50 and this time, they gave me a big cone of ice cream. This made me even more regretful of wasting my $7 on that junk. At lunch we ate at a legit fish and chip store. After that, we visited many different places at Richmond from Richmond Oval, Richmond Center, Steveston and Aberdeen where we had our dinner. There was nothing special about any of these places but the Richmond Oval was one of the areas where it hosted the Vancouver Olympics. However it was in the middle of nowhere and as we went inside, they were renovating it to a big basketball arena. It felt like such a waste of spending so much money on this building for winter olympics and then after that, changing it back to an indoor arena. But after thinking about the costs of making the whole place icy cold made me rethink their idea.
At Aberdeen, it felt like Pacific Mall. It was a very asian place and apparently the most asian place they have in Vancouver. There were many chinese stores and a big big area for food. I spent over $20 on toys such as toy guns and a necklace! The mini guns looked really nice and they were well worth the money! My dinner consisted of a 'yakisoba' and the picture above is how it looks like. It tasted really good and when I looked closely, the top of the noodles moved. I really don't know how they do that but I am not lying. It looked like they were moving. I shopped around for a bit and saw a bunch of others buying a big box of instant noodles for the few days to come.
When we got back home, some of the girls ran to the movie room because "Jersey Shore" was on. I decided to take a look and see how it is. Its very very sex-related and I didn't enjoy it much at all. However I heard lots of laughing from the people as the actors made a fool of themselves. They say that its not a movie but a reality show. I really doubt it though.
