When you read my title, if you knew anything about Canada, you will already have picked up what my title is all about. Yes, that's part of the lyrics of the Canadian National Anthem song. Why I put this there? It's because it's Canada Day today! I've been living in Canada for 16 years now. Much longer than I've lived in my hometown, Hong Kong.
Therefore, I have a place for this beautiful country in my heart! But of course, whenever it's Canada Day I go downtown with friends to celebrate the birthday of the best country in the world.
So, in a mixed of windy and sunny day, I wore my jersey and traveled to a friend's house and stayed for a while before going to Broadway to meet up with another friend, to take the expo-line to waterfront. We got off and went to Canada Place to look at things. One of them included a museum with all the Canadian Hall Of Fame. Pretty much all the people there, deserved to be there, except Justin Bieber. I didn't know he was considered to be a Canadian Star, when that guy have not even retired yet, and his singing sucks balls!
Anyways, we continued on for a little more while, before hanging outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery of downtown Vancouver. Later, we left to meet up with our other friends outside at the Skytrain station at Waterfront.
We then traveled from streets to streets and by 6:30pm, we were waiting for the parade to start. Too bad, no Alain Vigneault this time, as my friend reminded us of what happened last year. After the parade, we got something to eat at steamroller, hell the chicken deluxe meal was fucking expensive. Later, we went to McDonalds, as a few friends wanted to get a drink first before we walked around at coal harbor. Later, in order to kill one hour and a half of time, we began talking about NHL jerseys and what they symbolize, which eventually took us all the way until 10:30pm where the fireworks started. It was great afterall!!
Later, I walked for a while, to Yaletown Roundhouse station and took the Canada-Line to Richmond, before my mom picking me up!! Fun day today!! Looking forward to the next firework event, in about three weeks!
