I went to Voncouver for 2 days.
I watched Monkey majik's concert.

I thought it was held a concert hall, but actually it was held a club.
It wasn't so big, so I could watch them very close.
Most audience were Japanese people or Japanese canadian people, because they are not popular in Canada.

I could hear some my favorite songs.
The concert was great!

I just knew and got tickets by the internet yesterday.
I told about it to my maneger, then ｍy manager's face was twisted and said "I can't guarantee that you can go to the concert" in Japanese.
I guessed it, but I want to go the concert!
I still don't know I can go to the concert, yet.

I always read it only a few pages while a rest of work, but I read it 50 pages today.

I usually have to use my dictionary many time, so it's hard for me, but the book is interesting, so I don't mind that.

Anyway I think I want to praise me by myself.

I bought the DVD from season 1 to 3.
It was a very exciting story. I feel very uneasy about next season!
It already broadcasted on TV, but it hasn't sold as DVD yet.

I am looking forward to watch season 4.

It was -1 degrees few days ago.

I've not been using a heater yet, because I am anxious about utilities.

I went to Adams river last weekend.
The right picture is a salmon couple, it's not gold fish.^_^;

Adams river is famous as "run of salmon spot".
I could see a lot of salmon. Their body is very bright red.

I found one of salmon that died on the ground. I guess he(or she)lived out his life. It was huge, bigger than 1 meter.

One of family took a picture with it. Their children laied down beside it.
Ppossibly it is a brutal act but it was funny.(^^ゞ

It's a dry climate. There is a lot of hills but it has not green(tree) well, so the view is almost brown.

There is many activity. For example, hiking, canoe, hang gliding, and snowboarding.
I want to try hang gliding some day. I can fly, It like a dream, isn't it? but I can't afford it　now.(ーー;)

Kamloops is city side more than Vernon. I like a country side, actually I want to move an another city, but I patience for a while and enjoy here:D

I mainly learned English for 3 month in Victoria.
The morning class was a beginner course, The afternon class was an intermediate course.

The biginner course was too easy for me, but the intermediate one was too difficult for me, but I could enjoy both classes.
I think I improved after 3 month, but it's still not enough you know.
^_^;

When I was day off, I enjoyed sightseeing.
Victoria is really beautiful!

I often went to the skatepark. It's big and nice one, but I felt it's insecure neighborfood around the skatepark.I often saw some police officers around there.

I enjoyed staying in Victoria.

After that I moved to Vernon.
To be coninued.

At first I lived in Whistler. l enjoyed snowboarding and working for 6 months.I didn't study English, because I worked the Japanese restaurant and there was a lot of Japanese in whistler.

The ski resort was a great, but every thing were expensive. For example, The seasonpass was $1700! Do you believ that?

Whistler was a party town, I was tired of the party.
l thought l want to move a calm and peaceful town and learn English.

After that l moved to Victoria.

To be continue.
