This is Canada.
I’m sorry for the lack of blogging! we’ve been busy! And by busy…I mean lazy and hungover haha. Okay here goes nothing!
The last time we spoke, I had just beaten up a homeless man and stole his sign, to try and get some money for weed (This is a joke…I actually have plenty of money for weed, haha)
After that day came Tuesday. This was a good good day! And it starts here:
We woke up nice and early and had our usual waffles and toast with some apple juice. Today we planned on getting our Social Insurance Number, Which is equivalent to our ‘tax file number’ a well as going to the bank to start an account.
We left our hotel and caught the skytrain to City hall station Vancouver and slowly made our way to “Service Canada”.
Upon arrival we asked the lady about how we go about acquiring this number, and she told us to take a number and then take a seat… An hour and a half later, and we were done!
We left the building, and found a mall…where we decided to have some chicken teriyaki for lunch, but this wasn’t no ordinary lunch!
I walked up the the asian man and said:
“can I have number one please”
His reply:
“so…you’re from Australia?”
I have no idea how he knew, but we then continued to have a lovely conversation about Australians. which ended in another Asian man trying to name ALL of the Australian actors. haha. he failed.
We didn’t have time to go to the bank cause we had planned to meet up with a Canadian girl (Brianna)
We met her at about 4 o’clock out the front of our hotel, and we started our lovely walk around town, I couldn’t actually tell you exactly WHERE we went, but it was a good (very cold) walk. Which was helped by an amazing hot chocolate. nom.
On the way back from our walk we remembered that the do or die game for the Vancouver Canucks (Ice hockey team) was to be played tonight at 7pm. So then began our search for a place to watch the game.
After walking around for a little bit longer, we found a nice little place called the “Roxy Burger” And to our suprise…they were giving away Canucks jerseys! All we had to do was drink a lot of Canadian beer (So we got tickets into the ballot) We drank 7 beers each, so by the end of the game, we were a little intoxicated…
And then it ended, Canucks scored the winning net in Overtime and won the game sending them to the second round of the play offs! The whole place erupted! Which was then followed by the giving away of the jersey…Which, to our surprise… WE WON!!!! :D
Whilst celebrating our recent win. A young man came up to us and started talking to us, we told him we were from Australia…and then Wollongong. He was shocked and dragged us to the other side of the pub, and introduced us to a guy named Glenn! Glenn was from freaking Port Kembla!! Can you believe it?!
We left the pub with the other Australian and began our party in the street, which consisted of thousands and thousands of Canucks fans! It was so much fun!
We ran a muck in the streets for the next hour or so. Which consisted of A lady asking for lukes autograph, An old man constantly kissing lukes freshly acquired jersey and A lot of jumping up and down and screaming!
We ended up back at our hotel room..and sleep came fast.
:)
Jusqu’à la prochaine fois.
