Continue Canada! - Vancouver

So Vancouver ehhh?


outside the Reneissance Hotel in Vancouver, at night




My view from the hotel room during the day :D I miss it soooo much


Here's a dark pix of the room


I'm at their state park, I think the name is Stanley Park, I don't remember anymore but it's across from my hotel, one of the building on their was the hotel I stayed in but I don't remember which one


I LOVE their scenery, I will definitely go back if I have another chance to go




More from the park


It's not Canada if you don't see a guy in red uniform! Well it's a fake but eh lmao :p


Everything looks soooo nice lol even the bridge, this is why ppl in Canada go to retire in Vancouver, as if Americans go to Florida to retire


Yachts and water everywhere...too bad i couldn't get a better pix lol


doh, I found one... see man, and this is all in the city!!


Here's a steam clock that is built in the 1800s i believe, it's in Gastown Vancouver, the clock emits steam every so often, I don't remember how it works anymore ^_^ also I forgot to mention, Vancouver is a province infested with Asians! it's like Asiantown everywhere lol I went to Chinatown but didn't take pix because I didn't want ppl to know I was a tourist and rip me off lol... And I didn't wanna be a target of crime although it's the safest place in Canada


Here's a Chanel boutique I walked pass because I was late for a meeting!!! I was so mad, I wanted to go in, but I got lost in Gastown to Chinatown, it was a very unique experience.


and LAST pix for CANADA!!! haahah I got tricked into going to a GAY club, I didn't know it was a gay club...but the tour guide who's gay, said it's a "mixed" club, I thought mixed as in different ethnicity, but turns out it was mixed -- gay, bi-sexual, transvestite, and straight ppl :lmao: but a gay guy came and started dancing with me and bought me a free drink, that was hott!! lol everything free is hott! i've never seen so much gay Asian ppl in my life! hahaha yeah so it's a big thing in Canada, lots of Asian people and lots of Gay ppl!!


Okay, I'm done with Canada, hope u enjoyed your trip! ...Next trip...Thailand one more time lmao!!

destination - Thailand - trip 2 - May 1 - July 12, 2007


i'll try to make it entertaining and um fun? lol enjoy your trip with me. buckle your eyes because this can be a weird trip! :p

oh and yes, of course there aren't any pictures of me as always. it'd kill the view. so let's just not search for me ok!

after the flight from home to chicago... i was waiting for my flight to japan in chicago's big airport o'hare... sweet loneliness


scored! american airlines from usa to japan has monitors behind chairs! unlike stupid northwest airlines and their 1 big screen deal


so after flying all over... finally got to japan, and looking down i'm like um huh?! what happened to the big city?




layover at japan's narita airport... i get people speaking japanese to me ... um huh?!

Thailand - trip 2 - continued

I didn't take much in Bangkok because I've taken so much the last time I was there.

I think this was the view from the bridge from Major Cineplex to Central Praplinkao Mall... um but I might be wrong haha i don't remember my areas, I have such horrific memory!


Crazy crowd inside the mall that day because they had a radio concert event. I had no idea who the performers were, likely they were all indie bands.


We went to eat somewhere and noticed that they like shaping rice into all these different shapes. Here's one of them, just in time for Valentine's Day.


Um, I'm not quite sure where this was. But I'm thinking in Barng San.


This tree was in Barng San, I like it, I can't find that type in my area because of the idiotic weather conditions here lol


There's this island near by called Koh Sarm Mook, meaning 3 Pearl Island, not sure why they call it that, but there were monkies all over the freaking street!!! It was pretty scary, they'd jump onto the roof of the cars and just swing all over! There were baskets to buy from street vendors, so we can feed the monkies with the stuff in the basket.




Then heading back to Bangkok, it was quite scary, the sky was grey and it was about to pour.


And here's the Rama 8 Bridge that's featured in soooo many movies and lakorns/Thai soaps

Monkey Chinese Temple... there is a nice seafood restaurant right there.

And I love the King's Bridge... it's so pretty at night.

Reminds me of a circus bridge or something... so huge and beautiful.

Thanks for sharing!

Thailand - trip 2 - continued

Heading down south of Thailand - Phuket, Phang Nga, Phi Phi Islands, Koh Lantha, Krabi

This is a tour we bought at Phuket, because it's down season, we got this a bit cheaper...this is the James Bond Island Tour.

First we go visit caves and such. This one has monkies roaming the outsides of the cave. Gosh monkies everywhere!!!


Inside the cave, which this one is a Wat, has some Buddha statues. There's one big one lying, but I don't have one I can share, sorry :p


Then we went to raft inside this one cave where cameras are prohibited. That cave was quite unique because it has sculptures made from natures forming different things like little baby elephants and a huge fish shaped thing... I believe the cave is called Tarm Charng or something along the lines, I can't remember... ^_^

Then after leaving, we go to a place to hop on a boat to head over to the islands closer to the James Bond Island, which is known to Thai people as Koh Tha Pu, or the Nail Island because is forms the shape of a nail in a way...




This island is Punyee Island if I'm not mistaken, I have a picture of the sign somewhere.




Strange how they just live on this little area... Not like it's a big island, but I just mainly saw restaurants


And, finally at the center of the tour, this is the James Bond Island, I believe 1 of the James Bond movies were shot here, so it was given the name James Bond so tourists know what it is, and is now a main attraction to many people who visits this area.


Okay so we head back and stop at that island... Here's the sign lol

Thailand - trip 2 - continued

Heading down south of Thailand - Phuket, Phang Nga, Phi Phi Islands, Koh Lantha, Krabi

Next day was a tour of Phi Phi Islands, this was also a different tour from the James Bond one, I think this one was much more better haha! We spent the whole day on the boat and I burned myself BLACK! I had so much sunscreen on but it was still not helping. Boy was it painful when water hits the burn areas... :(

A scene from the boat, we sat up front because I wanted to see where we were going, it was a medium size boat with about almost 20? of us.




I can't swim so I was stuck on the boat with other people who didn't want to go snorkling. So I attempted to take pictures of the fishes from the clear blue water


Another tour group snorkling, I believe this is also where the tour guide said this is were the movie "The Beach" was shot




This is a bird's nest cave, this is guarded heavily because the bird's nest is worth 10,000 baht per kilo at the time! approx. $312.50 for about 2 pounds. :eek:


Other views




This has got to be the pretties Island out of all the Phi Phi Islands, this is Koh Kai or Egg Island, too bad it was raining, but even with the gloomy skies, it was soooooo pretty
