Canada Eh?

It was one of those mornings where you wake up and say: "Time to do something random, and drag a couple friends down with you." So Bryant, Luke, and I decided to go to Canada. We only live about 5 hours from the border so we packed our shit and headed off.

One thing that impressed me about Canada was the intense amount of Asians dwelling in the Vancouver area. I love Asians. Luke is Korean and was adopted so we had a little trouble at the border but other than that everything went pretty smooth. He's a funny kid when we were in China town he bought a rice picking hat and silk vest. The Chinese people didn't think it was as funny as we did.

I was walking around down in Gas Town and a guy walks up to me and says, "You're from the states aren't you?" I was a little aprehensive as I replied. He smiled and said you're smoking Marb that's how I knew. So I offered him one and he showed us this really rad bar where a local band was playing. It ended up being one of the raddest shows I've ever been too and the drummer bought me a drink after the set. I don't know what it is about drummers but I fall for them everytime.

So we had a blast in Canada but by Sunday I was ready to go home. Luke said he would drive so Bryant and I popped a couple dramamine and I slept on his shoulder all the way home. And only woke up when we stopped for China express in Bellingham. Mmmm how I love those eggrolls.

Notes:

Hmm... you get motion sickness? That's no good.

Meanwhile, Canadia is fun, and... different. Just enough that it can be worth the drive. Albeit not from Arizona.

Still, an entry about travel without pictures, tsk.

And yeah, drummers rock.

There's something about your writing, or style of writing, that just cracks me up. I love reading your stuff.

(and when people in Arizona go on random road trips, its usually to the northern part of the state, to California, or to Mexico.)

Sadly, I've never been to Canada.

and yeah, those damn drummers pull you in every time.
*wink*

Drummers are a reason to live.

Vancouver is so rad.

I went last summer and the sun setting around nine was quite trippy.

I can put pictures in?!? I will have to now. And I never said I got motion sickness...I just said I popped some dramamine.

See, I told you it was for sleeping and not sickness.

I WIN. I ROCK. You're the loser.

Pictures make life hot.
