Traveling to west of Canada (Vancouver, Banff, Jasper)

Healing trip in Vancouver, Banff, Jasper (2014.08.18 - 2014.08.23)


I booked a Coho tour which is provided by local company whose name is Moose 1 month ago. On one hand, I was really looking forward to traveling. On the other hand, I was worried. Because not only I should have to carry out the tour schedule but I need to talk and hang out with foreigners in English. But it was good, consequently.

Firstly,
I've stayed for 2 days at the Samesun hostel in Vancouver. I could see some popular spots which are Stanley park, English bay, Gas town and Canada place. I don't have a good sense of direction, but a friend of mine has a nice sense of direction. So I felt comfortable during the trip by ourselves. First day in Vancouver, I went to Victoria island by Ferry. People who are travelers normally stay for more than 2 days, I just stayed there for a day. As the Ferry schedule, I couldn't see a bunch of good places, I could feel '여유로움', '한가함'.
Second day in Vancouver, I went to Stanley park. I think Stanley park is the biggest, beautiful, peaceful park I've ever seen. If I had ridden a bike well, I could ride a bike along a beach. So I took a shuttle bus that I can see attractive points instead of bike. It was good too.
After that, I was supposed to meet my friend who is Ah Hae. I've met her at a YBM language academy. We've been kept in touch with each other almost for a year and finally we met in Vancouver. Oh my gosh~!! 꿈이야 생시야!! Anyway, we had dinner which is Greek food and talked about our experiences which are we've had. I really glad to meet her.
Finishing dinner time, I was heading to Gas town. I loved it as soon as I saw. I fascinated by lots of lights and fancy restaurants, pretty stores.


Secondly, I joined the tour. I met Carrie who is not only a driver but also guide. When I saw her, I didn't expect that she will be our guide and driver. Because a Korean company which is located in Toronto has a driver and guide separately.

While we were traveling, we dropped by a variety of water falls and lakes which are amazing scenery. That's healing..!!!!
In addition, I learned some words which are glacier, avalanche and more. Even though I couldn't understand explanations of a guide perfectly, I felt so nice. 왠지 모르게 말이지!!ㅎ

One thing I remember vividly is when I stayed in Jasper. That area has limited water, electricity, food etc. We couldn't take a shower and use heater etc. I almost caught a cold. 아 진짜 색다른 경험 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Although we've had bad conditions, we had made a bunch of fun. For instance, playing card game, cooking dinner together..

The last day in my trip, I stayed in Banff. I hit upon "Muju". I thought it's similar between Muju and Banff. Those are a small town and a tourist spot. Moreover, Both of them are famous places for skiing, snowboarding. When I stayed in Banff, I went hot spring and mountain which is Rocky. It was so awesome. I was surprised at grand mountain and beautiful scenery. However, I couldn't see views clearly because of the weather. There were heavy mist mostly. I felt sorry that. 쪼금 아쉬웠다.

In conclusion, I really glad to have experiences which is this trip. Although I'm almost sick of seeing water falls and lakes and the cloudy, raining weather, I could see many stunning views and feel nature. 아, 대 자연이란...!!

And... I've had friends who are from HongKong. As long as we keep in touch with each other, I can visit Hongkong again some day. ㅋㅋㅋ
