On Saturday, I went to the Vancouver Lookout on Harbour Centre and got to admire the city from a hight of 181 meters above sea level. Afterwards, I explored the downtown area and saw Gastown's awesome Steam Clock, as well as the vibrant Granville Entertainment District. In the evening, my friends and I went to the Richmond Night Market and I was provided with a valuable life lesson - bubble tea sucks.
On Sunday, it was time to visit Granville Island - I liked checking out the local shops and galleries; I really enjoyed having lunch on the ferry dock with unparalleled views of the city just in front of me; and I had lots of fun on Railspur Park's swings. Dinner in North Vancouver would consist of homemade sushi and meaningful conversations about freedom and the like but, before that, we went to the beach.
As I stared into the Pacific, all sorts of thoughts came to mind - I wondered if I would ever manage to go around my limitations and find myself where I want to be; I wondered if my past will be my future; and I wondered if happiness is really possible.
Kaia then started building a tunnel in the sand and my contribution to this enterprise was seriously hindered by the splinters I got for digging with wood covered in bark. At some point, Kaia mentioned that I could remove them by washing my hands in the ocean. And so it was - after just a few waves, all the splinters were gone; and I felt... better.
