Sightseeing in Vancouver

Well time for more updates from my Vancouver vacations, nothing exciting if you are looking for star sightings but I had fun with the stuff I DID see.

Tuesday, Sept 9th 2009

I intended to go sightseeing that day but made plans with a cool Supernatural/Twilight fan from Kansas, named Angela, to go back to Granville Island to the "V" set as she is a Lost fan too! So we went to the "V" set. We did waited for a bit hoping to see Elisabeth Mitchell but she wasn't on the set when we arrived, but we made friends with one of the PA's on the set, a lovely lady named Lynn who actually pulled out the call sheet and told us when EM was on set! So we hung around for a bit. Finally she did come on set but turns out she was filming a scene on the stairs on that set so not a great visibility for Angela, nor did we manage to get to talk to her. Shame for Angela but she was still happy. She had atleast seen her!

Some pics from the "V" set that day:

This sign with warning about the filming going on cracked me up so I had to take a pic of it lol, guess I'll be watching ep. 2 of this show and keep a keen eye on ppl in the FAR background..I may be in it lol

Here is a pic of the main set without all the ppl:

The street they filmed it on 2nd st near the entry to Granville Island was dressed up to look like a street from New York City, pretty funny to see NYPD cop cars and NYC taxis...in Vancouver lol

They even had the sales stands that ppl who has been to NYC surely must recognize lol.

Then after a bit we decided to get going as she had gotten the address of a Supernatural set up in Delta, just outside Vancouver. About 30 min drive from where we were. It turned out to be longer for us cos we spotted some more sets on the way there, went by one of them which turned out to be a kiddie movie set for "Diary of a Wimpy kid" or something like that. Turns out it is from another successful book series of the same name. I have never heard about it, but we were told it sold like 20 mill. copies in the US?? ohhkayy... We asked who was there and was told mostly kids around 12 years old, cute but er..NOT what we were looking for :p so we left hehe.

After a bit more driving we arrived to the set, thanks to Angela's GPS lol. Sadly though Jared and Jensen (two main leads in Supernatural for those not watching the series) had left the set hrs ago. So we didn't stick around much, we did however snapped some pics and by doing that we got proof of the set guys really DID tell us the truth and not telling us BS to scare us off. They didn't seem to care how much we snapped pics. So no big secret there apparently.

Pics from the Supernatural set, I do believe this from episode 6 season 5 they are currently filming:

The car has a sticker that says Supernatural filming production or something so had to take a pic of that lol

Not sure if this will show up in the episode but I took this pic anyways from inside the car as we drove buy, it was raining outside:

Some pics of the actual house, the house was hidden behind alot of trees so I did the best I could with pics...freakin trees covering it! lol

After that excitement it was time to head back to the hotel, I got back to mine, ate some lunch and chilled for a bit. then headed out to meet up with my friend Summerstone from Twitter and we hung out until it started to get dark.

Wednesday, Sept. 2nd 2009

Time to do some serious sightseeing in Vancouver. I opted for the hop on hop off trolley tour. I enjoyed this, this tour is divided into 2 loops, one blue that covers Granville Island, Vanier Park, Yaletown, Chinatown, Gastown etc...and the red loop covers Stanley Park, English Bay, some of the swankier hotel sites and so on. LOVED the driver's stories and humorous comments hehe. I did go off the blue tour at Gastown and had lunch there at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Nice choice. Nice area too but that was in the daytime as I trust the locals when they say do NOT go there alone in the evening. When you are visiting a city ALWAYS listen to what the locals say about which areas are safe and which ones aren't. I have yet to be hurt on my travels cos I listen to what ppl tell me to do and take no unnecessary chances! Took some pics of course of the sites we went by, I didn't hop off at many places cos well most places you had to pay admission and the coupon book we got on the trolly tour was mostly for restaurants and you had to spend so and so much to use them, pffff lol

Some pics taken on the "blue loop" of the tour:

Vanier Park, this is the Space Museum, and no the roof is not supposed to be an UFO as I thought, apparently it a replica or symbol of a hat used by one of the local native tribes in this area:

A locomotive that is displayed in the Roundhouse, Yaletown. It was open for the public on this day:

More of Roundhouse, Yaletown. This was one of the first buildings built after the big fire that burnt down then entire small town of Vancouver in 1886. After that fire when the city was rebuilt it was a rule that the houses were to be made of fire resistant material, bricks etc.

BC Place where Bon Jovi has played, this is where the open and closing ceremony of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, BC, Canada will take place, also AC/DC played here last Saturday...which I did not know until too late otherwise I'd gotten tix! This stadium capacity is 60 000 ppl. The roof there is a teflon roof and it is held up by fans constantly blowing towards it to keep it up. They were suppose to build a retractable roof over it but reports now say that it may not happen as it is too pricey, time will tell what happens I guess. Next to it is the GM place also the official home of the Canucks, one of Canada's hockey teams. (not pictured here though), venue capacity here is 20 000. Bon Jovi has played there too on their earlier tours I believe.

Edgewater Casino:

Library Square on Homer and Robson st. the building is mostly in glass, and in the front alot of local performers, demonstrations, artists and so on are entertaining etc the bystanders. Speeches even are done there.

Towards Chinatown:

This building is in the Guinness Book of world records due to be the narrowest building in the world. It only is 1.8 meters deep (about 6 feet). They even have a sticker or sign from Guinness stating this:

Here you see how deep it is, not very deep LOL.

Gastown, which name comes from "Gassy Jack" which was a nickname for a Yorkshire born gentleman named John Deighton who talked the workers there into helping him build a bar there so they could drink all the whiskey they could. The bar was up in 24 hrs and called the Globe Saloon. It is no longer there as it burned down in the big fire. But a statue of Gassy Jack is there:

This is also the oldest intersection in Vancouver. The nickname "Gassy Jack" isn't cos the guy loved to "break wind" but cos he was a motormouth, aka a chatterbox lol.

The Gastown steam clock which I heard go off without seeing it at first and wondered what the hell the noise was, when I saw it and read the sign on it I got why I heard that funny sound lol. How it works can be found here

This isn't of any historical value but it was a sign outside a bar in Gastown I had to take a pic of, as the comment or saying on it cracked me up lol, one side:

and the other side:

Gotta love this kind of humor lol!

Gastown is reportedly the fave "hangout" place for the Twilight cast members as "everyone" seems to know they used to hang out in Yaletown. However it is NOT recommended to go to Gastown alone after dark as it is a "dangerous area". Highly recommended to cab it to the place you want to go to and when it is time to leave wait for the cab to pick you up INSIDE the bar/club you are at. It is however perfectly fine in the daytime. Worth a visit in the daytime IMO. Yaletown on the other hand is safe at any time of the day or night.

Then it is time for the sights from the "red loop" of the trolley tour:

First off the start of it at Canada Place, as you see there is a huge IMAX theatre here too:

This building will be used as a media center for the media during the Winter Olympics 2010. It has a "live roof" as in grass and plants on the roof. You can actually see it from Stanley Park too (which I'll show later) and to me it reminded me of the Opera House in Oslo, Norway for some reason, must have been the contours of the building.

This is a huge gallery Downtown Vancouver, unfortunately I forgot the name of it:

Stanley Park, Vancouver:

This park is actually BIGGER in acres than Central Park in NYC! They have imported the black squirrels from Central Park into Stanley Park due to some connection in the past I cannot remember, but if you are interested in finding out about the park and it's history this is a good site for info, Stanley Park

There was several stops on this, I only got a few pics, one stop was Totem Poles but didn't get pics of them this day, I did however go back there on Thursday Sept. 3rd. (more on that later), and got pics. So for now here are some random pics from the Rose garden part of the park:

This shot is nearby an amphitheater there, not sure what the story is behind the statues in the pic cos I forgot lol.

I couldn't resist and took this pic of JBJ's "Fave birds" (not really lol) some Canadian geese lol

Some more random pics from Stanley Park:

What can I say, I love horses!

I believe this is Sequoia Grill at Stanley Park

Prospect Point at Stanley Park

Some Vancouver skyline view from Stanley Park

Same buidling with that will be used as a media center for the Winter Olympics and here you can see how it looks like from the waterfront, this view is from Stanely Park.

Lions Gate Bridge, view from Stanley Park

"Bird's eye view" of Lions Gate Bridge.

Then final pics from the "red loop" this day, English Bay, and the other day here Robert Pattinson had been spotted somewhere here. It leaked out on the radio that he was there and I suspect he was LONG GONE by then lol.

Saw this on the way there:

Finally English bay

I enjoyed the tour though. Then I had a quiet night at my hotelroom and went to bed.

Thursday, Sept. 3rd. 2009

This is today as I am typing this. Today is the day when I finally was gonna meet my longtime Bon Jovi buddy and one of the MAIN reasons why I actually came to Vancouver. He came to my hotel around 11:30 and was sweet to drive me around to whatever sights I wanted to see. So we went back to Stanley Park cos I wanted to take a closer look at the Totem Poles there. Got some cool pics of them. And low and behold they were friggin filming there too! What was filming? NO clue as we didn't bother to ask, we were too busy chatting Native American arts and Bon Jovi and he told me about his job etc! It was GREAT to see him again and he gave me the bestest hug as I remembered it from before LOL.

The Totem Poles in Stanley Park:

And another view of Vancouver from the Stanley Park side, took this while Jon was on the phone with some client :-).

He took me to 2 main Bon Jovi sites here in Vancouver. Where they were recording Slippery When Wet, New Jersey and Keep The Faith. The studio is Little Mountain Studios but now it was just a building even though the name was still there. Not sure what it is is for now. I was surprised how LITTLE it was, it is like some "nobody place" but PERFECT for a hugely popular band to hide out when recording! I loved it!

Little Mountain Studios, and well..me LOL

Then it was off to see the "birthplace" for the name "Slippery When Wet" which as any longtime Jovi fan and probably those new ones who did their research of the band's history know by now, The No 5 Orange Showroom Pub which is a strip bar where the boys hung out. They saw some stripper taking a shower onstage, all soaped up and the boys being young, lil drunk and horny were all like "wow I bet that's wet..." and one thing lead to another and they came up with the title "Slippery When Wet". So to the more new fans out there, NO it is not from the street signs that reads "Slippery When Wet" lol. My buddy told me that the area there is shady but since I wasn't alone and daytime I didn't feel unsafe really.

Me outside the No 5 Orange Showroom Pub

Then this pic is taken by @ThatDamJonGuy (Jon on twitter) on his blackberry, which he did tweet asap it was taken lol:

He also took me by Gastown as there were some sights there where the boys hung out but the place no longer exists. Same with another club they hung out at. But still it was cool going by the old Jovi haunts in Vancouver. Even passed by Marble Arch club that is being used in Motley Cruë's video "Girls Girls Girls" if I remember my friend's story correctly.

Then tonight I went out to have dinner with Anna from Australia, who I met outside the cast hotel during my first week's stay. It is her last night here and she's off to Australia tomorrow.

So that is all the excitement today really lol.

My Vancouver vacation continued

Wednesday, Aug. 26th. 2009

I got up late as I was up late on Tuesday sorting out my mobile so I could get a Vanocuver pay as you go sim card. I got that at Rogers and was all set with a local Vancouver cellphone number. Before I left I took this pic of the Glowbal bar and grill restaurant I had eaten at the night before:

I had also gotten a message from a friend where The Twilight Saga – Eclipse was shooting (it turned out they were shooting on Thursday instead but more on that later). I also realized quickly that I would run out of clothes fairly quickly so I decided to go shopping. Onto Robson street I went, and BOY did I shop lol. I got 4 different tops, 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of Ecco shoes, even got 2 free t-shirts.

Then I got a txt from my friend that they weren’t shooting Eclipse at the location I got on Wednesday but they would shoot on Thursday. I still went to the set to check it out and met a few cool ppl. Hung out there for a bit and got back to hotel and crashed.

Thursday, Aug. 27th 2009

On Thursday I got up early as the cast call would be fairly early as it was a day shoot at a school. So I og there between 8 or 9 am. An hr or so later the cast started to arrive, believe it was Ashley Greene first then the rest came shortly after…I only got a few glimpses of ”someone” in these cars lol. I do belive I spotted Kristen in one of them. They had locked off the set big time. We got a few glimpse of the cast as they walked from their trailer towards makeup. I saw Ashley Greene, Rob, Justin Chon, Michael Welch but I didn’t get any of them on camera s it was too far away and they were too fast lol.

Some pics from the set there:

So it was basically waiting around there while filming was going on. Not much to see so we just hung around and amused ourselves as best we could hehe. Did overhear the extras getting their instructions of NO TALKING TO THE MEDIA OF ANY KIND, and the usual jazz ”we consider you as family now” blah blah. Apparantly they only had 500 extras over the course of 2 days (Thursday Aug. 27th and Friday Aug. 29th) and that is the only time for now at least they would need extras cos the other scenes they did not need any background ppl.

Some more pics, as you can tell it is mostly trailers lol!

They had that school set until 11 PM so I think around 8 PM they wrapped and the stars left, I did see Michael Welch as he had the window down, the others had their windows up and the car either Rob or Kristen was on (or both of them lol) there was a jacket up towards the window on both sides of the car covering them up completely, the other actors just waved thru the windows hehe.

Michael Welch in his car

I have no idea who is in this car but I do suspect either Rob or Kristen as there is a jacket covering the ppl in the backseat (or probably both in the same car lol)

And another mystery cast car...

MORE trailer pics..lmao

So got back to hotel late, but before I could crash I got another txt from my friend who told me where the NEXT morning’s shoot was, this time at a school outside Vancouver in the suburbs, where they were shooting the Graduation Scene. Not many ppl knew about this set from the start, but of course during the day the location leaked.

Some more random pics from the set that day:

Set dressing

Area where the extras was:

Friday, Aug. 28th 2009

So I got there around10 and the actors had already arrived. Not much going on but it was kinda cool to stay there and a nice neighbor lent us some chairs lol. After some time I was told by my friend that there was a second set across the street in the park where the outdoor part of the graduation scene would take place.

Some pics from that first set of the day, and again just the trailer pics lol:

The makeup trailer, which was later blocked off when they realized we could see it directly pfff:

The cast arrived and came out from here:

So towards late afternoon the cast left the set, first Elisabeth Reaser whos hand waving in the window was all I saw of her lol. Then my fave part of that day came, Peter Facinelli’s car came by, he in the front passenger seat, window rolled down saying hi and waved, I got that on camera! Such a cool relaxed guy! Next few cars to leave had to be Kristen first and then Rob cos neither of those cars went by where we stood..they drove directly up the street going away from us. First Kristen’s car then Robs with some security guys walking by it until it had passed the few ppl there. Security around Rob is SUPER tight and well considering what happened in NYC I don’t blame them. Some crazy girls decided to RUN after the car, freakin crazy!

Elisabeth Reaser leaving the set:

My fave video of the day, apologies for the seasickness style video towards the end, Peter leaving the set:

Rob and Kristen leaving the set in seperate cars:

Think this is Kristen leaving:

Rob leaving:

Rob actually left the set altogether as the second sett hat day was only with the ”humans” no vampires on that set. The Summit security did struggle a bit with covering up the massive park but somehow they succeeded with the fans…but NOT with the paps and their long lenses lol. They got Kristen with her full costume much to the production team’s dismay but when the paps stood on private property with the owner’s permission (they paid for it) and with a clear view into the filming it was little the production team could do.

Early on in that second set some dude on the production team had the audacity to LASER us fans standing there to prevent us taking pics! Luckily none of us stared into that lazer beam cos well dammit I’d sue Summit for all I could sue if they had blinded me! I can understand them wanting to prevent ppl to take pics but freaking lazer beams? Gimme a friggin break Summit! There were NO PAPS were we were standing, they were elsewhere and the duchebag who shot those beams at us knew full well it was only fans. However that was the only idiocy I saw on the crew cos I found those I spoke to be nice but well firm and professional. As I expected them to be.

Videos of the extras leaving the set, got this before I was told off for "taking pics" lol:

Anyways we saw some commotion going on with loads of umbrellas and I saw some tiny creature in brown outfit getting into a black small SUV. That was Kristen. She got in the car obviously wearing her costume, hence the umbrellas aka Summit defence system lol, The car comes by us, most ppl were busy looking at the set while I was looking at the car and waved, I knew who was in it..I see a tiny hand and a shadow waving BACK at me, so yep Kristen Stewart waved back, I did not take a pic cos pff got enough pics of cars with tinted windows thanks! Well when that day ended I got a ride with my friend back to the Skytrain station (Lougheed st) to go back to my hotel but first we stopped for dinner, at a Greek tavern. Nice place and we got a free dessert!

So finally back to my hotel, I crashed yet again, got up late on Saturday

Just one note, yes I am posting the videos of the cars, but please bear in mind they change cars too, they do NOT always drive the same cars so before ppl accuse me of posting cars that can be recognized I do not have lisence plates or any other recognizeable trademarks of these cars. There are loads of these kinda cars all over Vancouver. Otherwise I'd never post these videos.

Saturday, Aug 29th , 2009

and well I headed to the hotell where most of the Twi-cast stays. I won’t say where in public even if it is widely known by now, as they are still staying there.

Anyways hung out there, walking around, and just talking to lots of ppl that came buy, I actually ended up enjoying myself even though I saw ”nobody” there. Did miss seeing Taylor coming out of a cab cos I was too busy talking away lol. I ended up becoming friends with Anna from Australia as there was a Supernatural convention going on, met quite a few of the convention attendees there. One pretty girl from Venezuela was there, who also was a Bon Jovi fan to boot lol. An Italian girl who also as an extra on New Moon in Montepulciano was there.

Well no Twilight sightings happened that day but I had fun still. I met lots of new ppl, always a plus in my book! I did however spot a guy who's name is Jake Abler I think, he plays Adam Winchester in Supernatural. Again I was too late to take pics as I had no clue at the time when I saw him, sigh...

Sunday, Aug. 30th 2009

Again back at the hotel hanging out, nothing much going on , no sightings although Billy Burke and Michael Welch was spotted out and about by others, but me lol. Again I just ended up chatting with lots of folks. Met some more Jovi fans too…seriously us Jovi fans are literally EVERYWHERE lol.

Did take a couple of pics of 2 churches across the street there due to either one of them or BOTH are used in some of the Supernatural episodes..so here ya go:

I did have one lil sighting, or little, but not fast enough for pics, I saw Sarah Clarke (Rene, Bella's mom) walk by.

Then I get back ”home” (as in my hotel) after buying a bottle of nice Rosè wine, and intended to chill and watching TV. Then I get a text from Summerstone (a friend’s twittername) who told me Bon Jovi was on CMT! I quickly turned to that channel and got to see their ”Unplugged” thing on CMT. It was cool!

Then it was time for bed yet again.

Monday, Aug 31st. 2009

I had decided to start the day with doing the mundane task of getting my laundry done. So spent too long at the laundromat doing that but it had to be done lol. Then it got to be around lunchtime so I decided to og to Granville Island to check it out. SO HAPPY I DID! Cos to me so far I got my best star encounter here! And it has nothing to do with Twilight whatsoever but everything to do with LOST!!

Soo I walked down Granville st, over the Granville Bridghe and after walking for about 20 min or so I spotted a truck saying ”Eyewitness News” on it. Me not knowing what these news trucks are actually called in Vancouver I just assumed it was a local news truck and something happened, I am curious by nature so I stopped and asked what had happened. The guy who worked for the crew just said ”we’re filming a TV show named ”V”. I was so surprised and messed up saying ”oh the pilot?” He goes ”No the actual show”. Since I knew who was in it I crossed the street and saw DIRECTLY into the set. This was a wide open set! After the crazy tight security around the Eclipse set this was a pleasant surprise!

First off, a couple of pics of the set of "V"first an overview pic of the area where it was:

Then some closeups of the set:

My view as I walked across the Granville Bridge and saw Granville Island from there:

This is some funny boat thing that has family cruises, forgot what it is called but it looks like fun to be on them!

Some sights of the Granville Island Entry, and Granville Island itself:

So I watched some extras with silly protest banners both supporting of the aliens in V and the non supporters of the V ppl, they pretended to shout at eachother, which looked silly cos they made no sound lol. Then I saw HER! Yep Elisabeth Mitchell in the flesh, as pretty if not prettier in real life as she is on TV. She plays and FBI agent on the show it seems. She walks towards someone, some guy walks by her, this guy (who's name is Tyler McClendon thanks to Hamburgo1001 for the info!) is approached by an older guy who acts agressively to this guy walking by EM. Some pushing and shoving going on, then the older guy suddenly holds his hands to his head and falls over, EM’s character shouts out ”Secure the area, I need backup!” and she bends down to the guy, 2 other agents come over and carries the older guy away. Then EM runs back into some buidling in the background.I saw this scene a few times and I see Tyler walking by EM having some sort of gadget in his hand that he pushes, which makes this older guy seemingly to get hurt thus holding his head and falls over.

The place is dressed up to look like somewhere in NYC, with the NYPD police car, the NYPD barricades, book sales stands, even the pretzels carts! Funny

Well They do a few takes, then it is time for lunch, I am there with another girl who also watches Lost and who also attended the Supernatural convention. We are both excited lol.

So EM takes off her black jacket and gets ready to head to lunch, she walks towards where we are standing, I approach her calmly ”hi Elisabeth?” she goes ”hi” and gives us a lovely welcoming smile! I tell her I am a big Lost fan, and that Juliet is one of my face characters on Lost, which is true! I ask her for an autograph and a picture and she just goes ”aww thanks, of course you can have that!” So the other girl took our picture and I get her autograph. The other girl ask who this tall guy in black is and EM says he is one of the main characters on the show too…so we approach the him too and he also was very friendly and approachable. Got my pic with him and his autograph too. I dunno him really but he was in one Supernatural episode and also a regular or recurring character on Stargate Atlantis. So if ANYONE recognize this guy gimme his full name please so I can put this on the pic lol. His name is Tyler McClendon. Charming and friendly!

Pic of Elisabeth Mitchell and I, and I am sure you all can figure out who is who, the pretty one is NOT me :p and the next one is of the autograph she gave me:

Then the co star she has in the eppy, Tyler McClendon but do I not know his character in the show, and also his autograph:

I went onwards to Granville Island (the set was just about around the corner from the entrance to Granville Island to be honest!) and had some lunch. Walked around marvelling over the massive market there. Pretty cool area. I also found the venue where I will be seeing Bobby Long perform on Sept. 7th. The Backstage Lounge (no it has nothing to do with Backstage with Jon Bon Jovi :p).

Backstage Lounge at Granville Island:

After squeeing about my encounter on twitter, I had my lunch, walked around some more and came across a street magician having a hilarious show, and the guy was from England. Funny lol

I went back to the ”V” set and watched them doing some more scenes. Then I walked back to my hotell as I was eager to upload my pics and share them on twitter. After I got that out I got a text from my new Australian friend and we agreed to go out to dinner. She stays at the same hotell as the Twi-Cast is staying but not cos of them, she’s stayed there before. I waited in the lobby there for a couple of min before she came down (no I did not see anyone of the Twi cast there lol). We had dinner down Burrard st at this place called the Cactus Club Bentall. Yummy food. Too much food to be honest lol. Then after dinner we walked back to her hotell and then I got back out to chat a bit with those ppl haning outside the hotel again before I went back to my hotel.

This is actually the back of the "V" set where the trailers etc are located

My sight as I walked BACK from Granville Island:

That's all so far folks! More to come...(apologies for any typo etc cos well it is LATE here now as I finish this...zzzzz)

Vancouver trip Aug. 25th to Sept 8th 2009

Not taken any pics yet so no pics in this entry for now.

Anyways I left work on Monday Aug. 24th. and took the bus to my hotel by the Oslo Airport. Checked in and just chilled. Then got up at 4:30 AM, got to the airport, checked it after a lil brief confusion lol. Then boarded the plane to London. Spoke to a lovely Canadian lady while waiting to board the flight. Landed in London, and headed straight to the flight to Vancouver, no delays whatsoever. Ended up sitting next to an adorable young couple that were SO in love, it was cute! She was from London, UK and he..he came from..Larvik, Norway! Larvik is like 45 min from my hometown..so basically the same area.

Then after a long flight, that somehow didn't seem so long, watched 3 movies, Push (with Dakota Fanning who ROCKED in this movie, this girl is so incredibly talented!!), The new Star Trek movie that didn't do that much for me but I was tired, then 17 Again with Zack Efron, which I only watched cos I was bored, I was even MORE bored watching it..lmao.

Then arrived at the airport, on time, waited for my luggage, prepared to have it lost...but nope, it CAME!! YEAH!! SO no problems on this trip so far. Vancouver International Airport is downright gorgeous, or I think so anyways, very pretty. WAY prettier than our ugly airport :p

I took the sky train to get to my hotel, dead easy. Hotel was dead easy to find, the few places I have been to is DEAD easy to find! I love Vancouver already! lol, checked into the hotel, took a shower and a 2 hr nap that really DID help!

So for now I have just seen some of Yaletown, had dinner there, Kobe Meatballs and spaghetti and some yummy drink I cannot remember the name of, and cappuccino for dessert. I am STILL stuffed after that dinner, note to self, NEVER eat a full portion of whatever dish Robert Pattinson have tried here..the guy eats like a horse if this is anything to go by LOL. I guess that is normal for guys his age heh! For me MY age..not so normal :p

And after dinner I walked up and down most of Robson st. tons of shops, did shop a couple of souvernirs and a belt that I needed. So that's it for now really. Will have PICS tomorrow but of who/what/where? NO clue lol.
