Happenings in a Nutshell



"I've found you've got to look back at the old things and see them in a new light." - John Coltrane

At the Vancouver International Airport

Here I am, at long last, sitting in the food court of the Vancouver International Airport (YVR), having finished a Japanese beef udon, and sipping on a complementary cup of cold water.

What a frantic couple of hours last night/this morning was! First there was the last-minute packing, then waking up at a not-so-early hour of 9:00 AM… I was hoping for a Toyota Prius on the way to the airport. Guess what? I had myself a nice ‘n shiny Prius waiting for me at the door!

It was quite an interesting cab driver I met. Com’on, how can you not tip him extra when he’s driving a Prius and listening to CBC Radio 2? What an awesome way to start off my day and my trip. I gotta say, the driver I met this morning was the friendliest cab driver I’ve ever met. North-Eastern African guy, works from 3 - 8, got two kids… :P hahaha now that was totally off topic!

Check-in wasn’t that bad; we were here early and managed to avoid the line-ups and get ourselves (my mom and I) two seats next to the window.

Current Vancouver time: 11:13 AM. Beijing time: 2:13 AM.
