Day 11

So what do we want to do on our last day in Vancouver? With no hesitation we went to Shabusen for a late lunch. Allan has been craving sushi and it was only fitting that he share this craving with Norm. This was our favourite hang out during the summer months when we lived in Nanaimo. Sometimes we'd ride the ferry over, eat at Shabusen and head back to Nanaimo. Crazy, I know, but we will travel far for good food. I guess it's because our mother's are such great cooks so we're big food critics. We're still trying to find a good cantonese chow mein in Vancouver. You would think that in an asian dominant city there would be some good noodles. Toronto still has the best chinese food but Vancouver has the best Japanese without a doubt. After dinner we walked along Robson and it started to snow. Heather got a little frightened by the snow so she went to Roots and bought a scarf and a hat. In hindsight, that was a good call. Before heading back to the house, we stopped by at Goldilocks. By the time we got out the snow had gotten worse. No worries, we've got a Toronto driver behind the wheel. Allan was certain the snow would stop and everything would melt. "It never snows in Vancouver and when it does it doesn't stick". Well, we were lucky our plane left that night. It was difficult driving to the airport because our van was not equipped with winters and all the signs pointing us to Richmond/Airport were covered in snow. The next morning we arrived in T.O and as we walked outside the sun was shining and the weather was mild. In Vancouver, Han tells me it's now 30 cm of snow. Poor Rihini.

Well, that's our trip out west. As usual it was fun filled and way too short. We would like to revisit soon but first we have to save up for yet another wedding. Houston, here we come!
