Except Vancouver doesn’t have a street-level LRT nor a subway,… yet.

Many of the buses leading the parade were retired buses restored by The Transit Museum Society (TRAMS).

I ended up taking more time outside than inside. The weather was wonderful–cloud-less, rain-less, and lots of sun. The view of the North Shore mountains was thusly amazing, to say the least. I wish I had a camera with higher resolution :( .

At the end of the day, when this CTV camera was lowering, a bunch of kids started crowding around the camera and waving at it heh.

And I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the container port :P Ah good memories of IBSS10.

  1. Snow
    Snow in February? Only where the film Black Christmas was being filmed.
  2. 17 Oak on 57th Ave
    A southbound 17 Oak bus turning west onto 57th Avenue. Where is this driver going?
    17 Oak on Granville
    The same bus turning southbound on Granville Street from 57th Avenue. Actually there the police blocked off Oak Street southbound so even the buses had to detour.
  3. Bird in Costco
    How often do you see a bird inside a Costco warehouse? (You’ll probably need to zoom in to actually see the bird)

Remind me of the time our class ran 6-laps in the fog. You couldn’t see from one end of the track to the other.
