Canada Day :D






I had lots of plans for the Canada day, three things on the list. First of all, I was planning to go to Stevenston, Richmond, to enjoy the salmon festival, but not so early in the morning. I wanted to go there after having a sound, and long enough sleep since i didn't want to miss the opportunity to wake up late on non-school-day. So, I woke up in 10 o'clock, and prepared to enjoy the holiday. This was my first time to go Richmond by public transportation, and it was quite far away then I expected. We needed to take a bus to sky train station, and then take sky train to the very last station, and then take another bus to Steveston. Since I am very dark at finding the ways and directions out, I just followed my trustful friends who led me to the festival well enough. There were lots of things going on, for example, some games people could play with coupons which was kind of expensive so we didn't use any of our money to play it although it seemed quite fun. Despite the name Salmon festival, there was only one shop that sold salmon barbecue. We had our lunch before we found the salmon shop, so we didn't try it, haha. Instead, we did have cotton candies,which was so pretty pastel colored, and we all felt like we went back to our childhood. We carried ourselves to the sea afterwards. I have seeing  sea on everyday basis since I live on UBC, but the sea in Steveston was bit different from the one in Vancouver, it had many small boats floating on the sea, and it wasn't a beach that we could jump in and have fun.

After coming back to Vancouver, I had a concert of Britney Spears! Also, Nicki Minaj came and gave us a show before Britney. I haven't heard of her, but she was indeed a good singer and performer. I have never been to a concert before, so it was very fascinating. One thing that I didn't like was that Britney performed many new songs, but I only know her famous old songs, so it kind of made me hard to follow the songs. I first knew her when I was 10 years old, while me and my family were in England, and she was the best at that moment. She was young, charming, beautiful, and no dirty scandal was made at that time. I had some chances to look at her rather closely, because my seat was somewhat close to the side of the stage. One thing I felt was she is quite old now. She wasn't the pretty girl that I always recalled when I thought of her anymore. However, her performance was very showy, a lot to amuse my eyes with. Her dancers were also very skilled, especially the guy dancers; they had such a great body and were dashing *o*!!

  1. Wow wow... I envy you! Actually, I wanted to go to Britney's concert but I didn't get a chance to buy a ticket. When I realized again, it was 2-3 days before the concert and the price had gone through the roof!

  4. I have been to Britney's concert in Japan. Then, she was really attractive. Although some people speak ill of her, I still like her songs and her performance.

  6. Wow a concert during the Canada Day, I should be fun
    But I must say that Britney Spears is not exactly my favorite singer, and I would not probably pay the price you told me for her concert :p
    Otherwise, I like smoked salmon a lot, we especially eat this dish during christmas in Europe.
