Travel Diary in Dec 27, 2014

From Kansai International Airport, I flied to Shanghai Pudong International Airport by China Eastern Airline.
After 2 hours interval at the airport, I flied to Vancouver International Airport(YVR Airport).
On flight, I found that I was flying on the sky of my local city. Geographycally, it makes no sense to go to Vancouver via Shanghai. Since I strode over International Date Line, I arrived at the airport in the morning on the same day.
I took Skytrain to Richmond–Brighouse via Bridgeport.

Canada Line(Skytrain)

As I heard from an acquaintance who has lived in Vancouver, it's like China Town. Near the station, there are a lot of facilities whose signboards are written in Chinese letters.
I went to Waterfront, and took Millennium Line.

From Waterfront to Edmonds

Because there were a lot of stylish houses near Edmonds station, I got off there and took pictures of them. Then, I found an abandoned track extended near the station. But, I don't know what the rail was.

Near Edmonds

From Edmonds, I rode train to the terminus, King George station. Near the station, I tried to find a toilet only to find no toilet. So, I went back to New Westminster. I rushed to a restaurant selling Omlet. After I ordered Omlet without thinking seriously to enter a washroom as soon as possible.
After getting a wash, I was astounded by what I ordered. Green pepper was mixed with omlet, despite the fact that I thought pepper would mean black pepper.
I left the restaurant and took Millenium Line for VCC Clark. I completed Sky Train at the station.

Because there was no spot to see, I went back to Commercial-Broadway and changed trains to Main Street-Science World.

At Science World

Science World is a museum for children to learn scientific phenomenon. So, it was so strange that I was surrounded by families. And, I went to Pacific Central Station to buy a bus ticket to Seattle.

Via Waterfront, I went back to Marine Drive, which is the nearest station to my hotel.
