Vancouver, Part 2

I went to the main branch of the VPL (along Georgia) today to do some research on the provincial representatives of BC. It was a really nice building, and awesome inside too. I think there's 7 floors classified for different types books, and even a small section for graphic novels. Posters were advertising a Rock Band tournament during the coming weekend. I think there was Smash Brothers Brawl too and a few other Nintendo games which I don't play.

I like that there's free net access, too. Not enough stations though.




Also, I have a new video of China's Celebration of Light entry up, which contains the last 5 minutes. It's a lot better quality than the one I uploaded a few days ago. That's because we moved rooms due to a broken aircon. The repairman said the system was failing all over the building due to the heat.

This was how Robson looked like afterwards (click):


Notice that there's a flood of happy noisy people walking down Robson, and a really long line of buses all across W. Georgia.

Which reminds me, there's weeds growing on the apartment balcony (which I have to clean up). There's even a wine bottle. I wonder how it got there. Anyway, after this entry there's probably only going to be one more interesting entry coming up, covering the gay pride parade tomorrow, and the trips to Victoria and Whistler. Really have to study already.

Basically, I have to take an exam for something.

Won't be gone that long anyway, I think?

Naman... Didn't hear you mention anything... I was like, "WHOA? JAKE'S IN CANADA?" Parang lahat na lang e naglayasan na haha

So when are you really coming back? You sound uncertain.

Around late November I think. But yeah, nothing sure for now.
