China.
First of all, you need to sign up an

One Day In Vancouver
We went to Vancouver for a 2-day trip last
week, and we had a great time there.It was a busy trip from the beginning. To
catch the ferry to Vancouver that left at 9:00 in the morning, I got up at 6:00,
which was a really tough task for me. As soon as I got on the ferry, I went to
take pictures around the ferry with my friends. For me, staying on a ferry is
always very strange and exciting. Unlike sitting on an airplane, sitting on a
ferry is just like sitting in a moving room or a moving hotel. We stood on the
deck of the ferry and took pictures of each other and the good view of the
crystal-clear ocean, which reminded me of the movie The Titanic, though this ferry was not as big and luxurious as the
Titanic.
We arrived at the hotel in Vancouver at
about 12:00. To my surprise, it was a fancy hotel. Another 2 of my friends and I
lived in a same hotel room with a clean washroom, a living room with a small
but useful kitchen in the corner, and a bed room with a large window on one
side of the room.
We set off for the shopping center in the
downtown area, as soon as we deposited our luggage in the room. I took many
pictures of the buildings, trees along the street, and fancy shops on the way
to the shopping center. I found that Vancouver was relatively similar to my home
city, compared with Victoria, which is the city I study in. there were more
rushing cars on the road, more tall apartments and shops that wouldn’t close
until midnight, and even more passengers on the pavements. Both my friends and I
bought a lot of clothes and shoes in the shopping mall. One of my friends even
spent more than 300 dollars in H&M. We walked along the pavements in Vancouver,
explored one and another interesting places with only a large map
in hand. It seemed to be very tired and boring to walk under the glazing
sunshine, but it was still a piece of memory that I will always remember. At
about 1:00 in the afternoon, we had lunch in a Thai restaurant with many exotic
decorations in every corner of the restaurant where we enjoyed our delicious
meal.
When we finally got back to the hotel after
watching the movie The Avengers, we
were all very exhausted. We went to bed as soon as possible and finished our
first day in Vancouver, where we has a great time and a wonderful memory.
