Today was City Mosaic Day. Basically, it’s a race where you complete challenges at designated checkpoints. I felt that we as planners were totally not ready because we were still working on it last night. It was so last minute and we were still not ready at the morning. I got paired up with a silver team and off we went to our first challenge. We had 4 places to visit: Yorkville, Kensington Market, Pawsway and Music Garden. We decided to visit Kensington Market and boy it was sketchy. We bought a large burrito at The Big Fat Burrito Store and I watched my team eat chocolate crickets and maggots for their challenge at the checkpoints. Then they were off to Pawsway where they ate dog food and last off Music Garden. We had to meet back at 3:00pm and the teams would be disqualified if they were 30 minutes late. We arrived at 3:22pm which meant we were safe but other teams were not so lucky. They arrived pretty late, around 4ish but they were not disqualified I believe.
To be honest, not many teams were really honest because they cheated. Some of them just searched it up on Internet while others were going to photoshop their team pictures. They thought of schemes that I would never have thought of. In Vision Youth, I have learned one and only one thing. Many of them are lazy and if you start doing the work, they will shove their share of the work to you as well. So, you would be doing the whole teams work instead of your individual part. It would be better to be lazy and not do work at all.
After that, we went to Pacific Mall for our dinner at Golden Regency Restaurant. However we were really early and so we had to waste some time before dinner was ready. Many of us didn’t have anything to do at Pmall and we just played Big 2 the whole time. Although we went into the arcade, many of us didn’t want to spend money. The dinner was awesome and it was the last dinner for the Vancouver kids because they would be leaving tomorrow. Aww, its already the end, the start of school and the end of the exchange. Time sure passes by fast when its fun.
After dinner, we went cosmic bowling. I was pretty fail at bowling but I was improving. I got a few strikes at the end and learned a big lesson. When it is times up and your game has finished, don’t go and start a new game because you will have to pay for it. I had started 2 lanes and I was on the verge of paying for it. Thank god, the worker let me off. I was glad to not lose my money.
