The Marina in Victorian Style
Today was one of the best trip I ever had. Fine weather after a rainy start. Shops here does not open until 11am. What a smart way to enjoy life right? Went to this place called market square. Pretty cool wild wild west concept. My grown ups friends decided to try out the kiddy elephant rides as no one is around. Knocks head. Lucky the ride did not break.
Next up is the downtown scene. It was pretty much Victorian like. The buildings are such a pleasant sight. Nothing beats the marina though. You can see the huge parliament building across the marina. I wonder why all parliament buildings need to be old. The number of law firms here are crazy! Its everywhere. Wonder y they need so many of them.
This will be an ideal place to retire to. Not only they have great sceneries. The tea house named Murchie's is pretty cool too. They offer more then 20 types of black tea. However, this makes no different to me as they all taste the same to me. Haha. Added cream to my tea somemore. Faints. Next up is the night scene. As usual, the streets are nice but looks deserted. There were lots of homeless around though. Poor thing.
To wrap up the great Victorian trip, we went to this restaurant called Nautical Nellies, claimed to be the best there. Waited a freakin' 1 hour for seats man. Argh! Lucky the food ends up tastin' great. Will be headin' over to Vancouver tomolo. Hope it'll be as great.

The Best Weather........Not
Victoria! That's where I am right now. It is so cool. I experienced the warmest weather ever this year, above 10 degrees. Finally no more heavy bulky coat. We were lucky as our journey to Vicotira from the airport is very smooth. Never missed a single transit. Here's a few pic we took on the ferry. Seagulls are everywhere. First time I see so many birds around man.
Went to this really amazing landmark called the Craighdarrouch Castle. It was very bery nice. Built in the Victorian era. The owner of this place must be damn rich. The number of rooms and antiques in the castle is tremendous. Get to see nice flowers and green grass too. Its all white in Calgary, thus it is such a relieve to see colours in the surroundings. The relieve was not long though as rain came pourin' down in the evening. Screwin' up our night sightseeing.
Saw a pretty talented person drawing this potrait of a lday on the street. Cool. Really in luv with the streets here. Warm and lively. I wanna stay here longer!!!!! Finally, Happy Chinese New Year. Abosolutely no atmosphere here man. Well, I'm in the west anyway.
