Yesterday, I did my first hiking tour together with some friends. We went to the north shore mountains of Vancouver. We drove to one of the Olympic locations and walked from there to the peak. From there we could see all over Vancouver and the English Bay. Great, was a good introduction into the Canadian Mountains... and there will probably some more follow.
Afterwards, we drove to a small village located at an arm of the ocean outside of Vancouver. A lovely, peaceful place very close to the big city. Many kayaks and boats out of the water and even more people enjoying their BBQ. In addition, totally multicultural - Asians, Canadians and Europeans - each celebrating in his own way.
Finally, we went to one of this huge supermarkets for which North America is popular for. But I have to admit: they need the space because the size of all products is mainly times two of the european size (eg. Shampoo 500ml, blueberries 1KG and so on). If we already talking about fruits: they are also almost twice the size of the fruits you get in Europe. However, they taste like nothing. Strange, but its seems that only the size counts.
