Terracotta Warriors Part 1

Over the long weekend my BFF & I went downtown to check out all the Terracotta Warriors located around town. In 3 hours we visited 14 of the 32 Terracotta Warriors. We are leaving the rest for another time, too many to visit all at once since they are scattered in other parts of Vancouver, Richmond & 1 in Burnaby. Only had one bad experience on our trip at the Shaw tower where a security guard came up to us & said we weren’t allowed to take pictures. Which I think is really stupid; if they display it they should allow people to take pictures of it. If they don’t want people to take pictures inside then they should place it outside. But I got a picture before the guy came over which is good but we were still upset that it wasn’t allowed (>_<) Other then that it was a nice sunny, warm day & it was fun spending time with my BFF...we haven't done this in a long time (^_^)

SFU Cherry Blossom...Sort Of


Last Sunday (finally sorted pictures >_< to post) it was nice sunny day so I went up to SFU hoping maybe the cherry blossoms were still out, some flowers were on the tree but the tree itself didn’t look in good condition so I don’t think any more blossoms will be in bloom. I walked around SFU, it is a nice place in the summer

Random Places: City Hall, Downtown & Race Track

Just some random pictures that I took around the city last year. Since moving to BC I have never been to Vancouver City Hall. So I stopped by since I was close by.  They have a nice little community garden.

I went to the Hasting Race track to watch the wiener dog races. This was my first time at a race track, entrance to the track is free & I got to see some of the races. Didn’t get any good shots of the wiener dog races though, too many people & I don’t have zoom lens (>_<) maybe I will go back again this year if they have it.
