King Street Station's ticket counter

A staff at ticket counter said something which I couldn't understand. We seemed to board buses instead of train. I don't know the reason why such change happened. I took bus for Everett, and boarded Cascade train for Vancouver.

Border

At Vancouver station(Pacific Central station), the train arrived at platform which is surrounded by iron grid. It's because passport inspection is carried out at the station.

I ate sushi near the port. A waiter asked me how was the food. People around here often ask me a question about whether taste is good or not.

I found a rail track and took pictures of freight trains.

Finally, I went up to a deck of Vancouver Lookout, which is the famous tower.

Today's hotel is located near Chinatown.
Near the hotel, I found a tall lady who was asking pedestrians something, probably because she was a prostitute.
