Stanley Park and other stuff

Hello everybody!
Last Sunday the weather finally became better so we had to benefit of this nice day. I suggested to go the Stanley Park which is a huge park at the end of Downtown. But because of the two other guys we were too late to rent bycicles to drive around the peninsula. So, I went today after school on my own to see this nice piece of nature near the city. I visited also Chinatown and a nice little chinese park...

Last Monday we had Thanksgiving in Canada but because of my philipinian familiy we didn't celebrate it and there was also no turkey which you normally eat at this special day... :-) Instead of that we went to a swimming pool in the middle of Downtown. One friend of the school preferst to live in an apartment and not in a hostfamiliy and in her apartment there's a beatiful swimmingpool with a view to a lot of high-rise buildings. There was also a sauna where I spent the most of my time. After this evening I was so relaxed that I nearly overslept the next day...

Another pictures to show you how cold it was while the heater was damaged... :-)

In my room was and is still colder, because it is located at the corner of the house and the windows aren't isolated very well. An other reason is that hole you can see beyond which was the result of a friendly fight against Kevin... :-) This house is really special: Through this hole I can even hear mice who live in these walls which are thin like carton...
Another speciality is the smoke detector: Because there's no chimney for the smoke during the cooking the smoke detector is ringing all the time the philipinian are cooking... :-)
