saturday 20th

the sun has come out here today - whopppaaa!! :) its been about 26degrees which is beauttt!!tho im maybe a little pink in places! today has been a fun one! went tothe dragon boat racing, its a biggg thing here once a year where hundreds of teams race eachother. dragon boats are like long wooden boats and theres 2 rows of people the whole way down, probs about 30 people in the boat in total! but everyone just rows like mighty, not like our style, like literally just plonking this wee short blade into the water. i think they are sitting on their knees in the boat - none of this lovely slidey seat luxury that we have! but yea it looks like lots of fun, there was also loads of stalls, jewellery etc there so that was fun to have a nosey around. my flatmates bf was playing in his jazz band on a big stage, there was quite a few different bands. by this point i had met up with some other bunac people - at last we managed to actually get together. so they joined me and we all sat on the grass and soaked up the sun! it was sooo nice to get to meet others too! so yea, its been a fun one!

had a rather amusing experience tho, i was just standing on my own watching the races and these 2 men and 2 kids came over beside me. they just started chatting straight away - vancouver is SOOO friendly. its really strange. so i was just chatting away back. then they were like ahh lets go see whats over there with all the tents (it was the stalls) so i plondered along to and was chatting away to one of the guys. he seemed nice enough, bit older, probs late 20's, from peru but has been living here for 8 years. then he was like ahhh sure il take u out for dinner, can show u some sights etc! it was rather funny, he asked for my num but thankfully i had the excuse of not having a canadian no. yet so he gave me his. dont think il be texting him, he wasnt sleasy or anything, he was really nice and chatty just but it just amused me! if only he was a nice big hunky canadian then maybe id have reacted slightly differently!!

i got my phone sorted today so now have a canadian no. woowoo! :) i wont be able to text you uk people a huge amount as its pretty expensive but i still appreciate texts! but fb is probs the best way to get me if your wanting a reply. my canadian no is 778-319-2729. im not sure if it costs you much to text me, but il check my uk no everyonce in a while so just incase its some form of emergeny probs best to get me on canadian no or faceybee!

hope you are all wonderful,

adios for now xxx
