"I've been to the mall", first shoppings and Burnaby Lake (with Rick)
canadiantour, 20:11h
Monday, Aug 1:
Today is a holiday, but actually that doesn't matter here in Vancouver. The shops have open till late, however.
So after some applications online (in shops like Tim Hortons or Save-on-Foods or Starbucks) i went down to metropolis shopping centre and it's incredebly huge mall. I left in some shops and (fast-food) restaurants my resume and often had additionally to fill out an application form.
After some time I decided to look for sth. to eat. There is a huge food court with lots of fast-food-stores in the mall, but still the food is quite expensive. at last i found a double-cheeseburger from McDonalads for about 1,60 CAD and tried not to care about the meat. But it was disgusting somehow... ^^
After that I did some shoppings in a Save-on-foods-store, where really everything has the size of jumbo packages... i don't know if that's the cheapest way to get along here, I wanna try it out, however.
When I brought my shopping stuff back home, I decided to go to Burnaby Lake (quite close to my new hostel) today. Acutally I wanted to that on my own. But as the Canadians are always so helpful and polite, some guy asked me - while I was standing there with my map - whether he can help me with the way. Well, I ended up with him accompanying me to the Lake. Was quite nice, but somehow weird. At least he was 49! Don't worry, though! I really did not have a bad feeling about that and I even phoned a German friend of mine that I am on my way with some guy so that anybody knows about that. He was called Rick, by the way, and he bought my a daypass, a sandwich, a drink and some frozen stuff ^^ it was impossible to refuse ^^
Burnaby Lake is quite nice and it is very quiet around it. At around 8 pm I was back home again and actually I wanted to do sth. more about jobs and my WWOOF-profile, but somehow i ended up talking with the two French girls in my room and even cooked a delicious meal with them =D as they were leaving the next day, they wanted to leave as much food as possible here.
At midnight I finally got to bed =D
