not exactly what I thought it would be like

• It looked like Alberta flying in. A patch work quilt of farms stretched out.
  
• Godzilla was not lounging on the blanket having lunch though.
  
• Coming in from the airport, the freeway was elevated high off the ground making the buildings look deceptively short.
  
• Many building that appeared to be apartments have stairwells that run up the outside of the buildings. Does this safe space??
  
• Crossing the International time line and skipping a day has really down my head in. Is it Saturday or Sunday?? While posting this on Vancouver time in my laptop, indicating that it is 1 am on Sunday- I have lept over the time barrier to the next day, 6pm.
• Saw a 'gang' of scooter/motorcycles that had big huge banana seats. Some of the drivers wore aviator goggles and had ratting flags of Japan flapping. They looked like a roving gang of Snoopy pilots on bikes.
