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.
