IT'S A TRAP.
Jun. 4th, 2008 09:33 am(An entry involving BC just HAD to have that title)
So. After a long voyage on a train (which sadly did not turn out to be a giant creature from an alternate digital dimension and did -not- take me on a long exciting adventure in the Digital World) involving much Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, some EV training of organic carriers designed to look like vaguely anthropomorphic bees, finishing of Catch-22 and Neverwhere and some frelling awesome view, I'm in Abbotsford. Surrounded by plants. And dinosaurs.
Jasper national park (which the train went through) Is too frelling pretty to be on this planet. I even saw a bunch of animals. By a bunch I mostly mean huge flocks of geese (some during impressive water landings), a single big-horned sheep, and a brown bear that was standing nonchalantly near the tracks and kinda looked at us as if wondering what the hell is this metal thing and what are the little blotches inside it. But most of the awesome stems from the rivers, and random waterfalls, and TREES everywhere.
As I looked out the window into the depths framed by trees taller than I have seen in my entire life - only their tops visible from by the tracks, and even their tops taller than me - I found myself contemplating mythical beasts walking in the shades of these tall trees, in depths where time stood still, not a sound but the flowing of the river and the breeze rustling in the leaves above...
... Maybe I -was- in the Digital World and just didn't know it. <<;
Few amusing notes re: BC.
1. It rains. A LOT.
2. Vancouver is home to an insanely elaborate system of public transportation which makes me think it REALLY wishes it was London.
3. Also, it is home to the most emo place in the world - a town that was absorbed into Vancouver and is named Port Moody.
4. As opposed to the chain of Atlantic Superstores in PEI and Nova Scotia, the Superstores here are titled "The Real Canadian Superstore". Complete with a little maple leaf flag thing after the word Canadian. ROFL. As Katie puts it, "Man. It's a wonder they didn't spell it 'The REAL Canadian Superstore'. Will the real Canadian Superstore please stand up?"
5. Swiss Chalet is frelling -everywhere- in Canada. And I do mean EVERYWHERE.
On a side note, license plates in Canada frelling rock. I have a few pictures of some choice ones. I just need to shoop them into decent size and upload those. And that would probably take me a while to do.
Let there be Desu! XD
