The last days of Birthmakah, AKA Burnaby is a Magical Land.

So I have had a good Birthmakah. I got to go up to Canada and see my husband. Being away from him for so long is shitty. However, I got to tour around the new neighborhood that I will be living in and BOY WOW! it is magical.

Let me show you some things!

Creepy Big Carrot from the grocery store near the new apartment. It is crazy the types of vegetables there.. and that was the "Anglo" grocery store in the area. The veggie stalls at Crystal Mall.

These are the super cute candied apples at the Rocky Mountain Candy Company at Metrotown. SUPER CUTE! There was also a Hello Kitty one, but the glare was too bad. 

Peter and I trying not to be sad on Friday morning while we got ready for work/travelling back to the U.S.

This is my Fancy Breakfast from the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel. 

So that was just the pictures I took from my trip up north. I went up on Wednesday as part of my Birthmakah  Celebrations. I was scared that I would be rejected from coming up there because.. well, my mom and I tried to smuggle housewares up into Canada. However, I got to the border, got off the bus and had this conversation.

Canadian Border Guard: Hello, Welcome to Canada, May I have your passport and declaration form. 

Me: * hands form and passport to them*

Canadian Border Guard: Do you have anything to declare? Why are you visiting Canada? * runs passport, clicks something*

Me: No, I do not. I am visiting my husband, he is a citizen, I am in the process of immigrating.

Canadian Border Guard: Oh, ok. Do you come up using any other method other than Greyhound?

Me: I come up by car sometimes...

Canadian Border Guard: Ok, have a safe trip.

!!!! REALLY!!!!! The last time I tried to come up it was at Peace Arch versus Blaine Truck Crossing.. but the fact that it was SOOOOOOOO easy and non threatening.. is amazing to me. 

I then got up to BC, only an hour and a half late, WOOT TRAFFIC!! Peter meets me and then we take the SkyTrain to Burnaby. THIS PLACE IS MAGICAL!

Seriously, our apartment.. is pretty decent. It is within 2 blocks of the SkyTrain. It is within 3-4 blocks of a 3 large shopping areas including Metrotown and The Crystal Mall. There are restaurants everywhere, there are things to do everywhere, there are activities and nice people who say, "Sorry!" when they bump into you EVERYWHERE!  Magical!

So, after hanging out and seeing the sights we stayed home on Thursday night and watched Xmas television. Then I went home on Friday morning. My bus was at 10:20 AM however Peter had to leave for work at 8 AM so I took the SkyTrain with him to his transfer point and then took it again Downtown to the Fairmont Pac Rim and had a super fancy birthday breakfast. Then took the bus back down. The border guards totally didn't care that I had a 12 ft. section of rope ( jump rope) and 2 bottles of Codeine by the time that they had to process 15 visas.

Look what Kitty is reading!

The Angry Jesus Bible or A Starwars Book? You be the judge. 

I was in the locker room today and another girl was asking what Kitty was reading because.. well.. yea that is a glowing cross. Apparently, many people at work thought that Kitty was reading the bible. That is one fucking epic bible if there is a glowing light saber cross and an angry Jesus ( Obi Wan Kenobi)

WHO THE HELL IS THIS!?

This is the display outside of Barney's New York. It is supposed to be.. I think Bobby Flay?? However, it could also be Conan? I don't know. It is ugly.

LAME!? what does Lame lace ribbon look like?
