Finally home from the airport, work, 5:14, then family dinner. This day could of not been any longer. So what's my take of my Seattle/Vancouver trip?

I decided to take on the driving throughout the trip because I wanted everyone else to relax. Plus it just thrills me to death when I drive to new places! It was wierd because I felt as if I was Neo or something on that first day in Seattle/Vancouver. It was like God downloaded all the maps in my head where I didn't need to refer to my maps as much.

Vancouver What a beautiful city, and despite what my aunt, Derrick, and mom said. I have no complaints about the place we stayed at. I loved it because it was in the heart of everything with freeway access. Plus our rental car, Caddy Deville, boy did I grind that sucker down. Thanks to Harris for giving me the highlights as I pretty much hit every major sight. I love the fact that Richmond and Chinatown were a dominant Cantonese speaking area so it made easier transition for me. I also love the fact that I didn't get charged for any phone calls on my cellie.

I just love the view of the city. I mean the expression my parents made when taking pics, they kept saying ooooh this pic will make it look like as if we were back in HK. I took so many pics of just the background with the lovely mountains. Sunday nite, I even took off at 2:00 a.m. so now that I could say I drove from Richmond, to West V, to North V, down to Burnaby, to Westminister, and back to Richmond. If you look on a V map, you would notice that I drove through every bridge and circled all of Vancouver. With that, I can say this too, which I do not say much either. I can easily see myself living in Vancouver because of it's beauty, population of Asians/Caucasions mixed, freeway (I abused the heck of the HOV lane), culture, and the sights. There's only one of other city now other than Vancouver that I can say that about which is Minneapolis. I just love how both these cities look at nite. My parents and aunt are even looking to buy some property out here now too! However, it sounds cooler for me to say that I'm from the D rather than the V eh?

I also made a new gal pal out there, my girl lollipop ;) For all single asian males, I tell ya, the V is the place to be to meet up with many lang lui's. I mean they were just all over the place. It was funny to see my family having 4 meals a day now too with our every midnite snack around the V. We even went to the casino 2 min away from our hotel. I won $50, in which I was dubbed "Stone Cold Shooter" because of my hot streak I just never gave any expression win or lose. I had people give me money to put down for them while I was rolling. One of the waitresses was dropping a massage for me while I was shooting. My dad was laughing because nobody wanted to shoot after me. When I cashed out, so many people came up to me to shake hands with me, and congratulate me. All bout me out in the V eh? Everyday I sported my D gear too, and many peeps gave me props for where I'm from, and there ain't no shame for me.

I even ate at the Harbour Centre, V's own CN Tower. I ordered a coke thinking that I get free refills. However, it cost me $6 for a cup of coke and it was not even the best fricking coke I've ever tasted. Our total bill came out to $300 plus tip, and the view was well worth it because I took a lot of pics.

Seattle I wish I could of stayed here longer so I could explore more. I walked through downtown, and I still have hope that the D will be like Seattle's downtown one of these days. I spent over $120 on Sonics gear which was well spent. Although out of all the Chinatown's I've been to, Seattle's is the smallest that I've been to with no good eats either. However, Seattle is just as pretty and if I stayed a couple of extra days then I could give ya more input.

With that, I missed my kids and I showed up to the field trip once I flew in. All you heard echoed throughout the Jew Center, was my name chanted in unison. I was upset because one of the counselors was upset that the kids would rather listen to me than her. I played hockey and soccer with them today where in soccer I scored the only goal while posting a shutout too. It was boys vs. girls and I played for the girls team, so the girls rubbed it in the guys faces. Since I drove myself to the field trip, I had to drive myself back to ACA while the rest of them took the bus. I drove right behind the bus to wave and then fly by them. I was informed later on that day, that as I drove by the whole bus was pounding on the windows chanting my name once more. To be The People's Champ has a lot of huge responsibilities. So with that, this thing is longer than ever, time to get some sleep then back to work I go, so excited baby.

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
