Chilliwack. BC, Canada.
I went to Canada for 2 weeks with my friend for a holiday to visit his family who lives out there. NOTE: This was the first time i ever left the country (England). I was very nervous about the flight and the process getting on the plane! (Don't ask why, i just did.. haha) Once i got through security and got on the plane, I said to myself. 'I did it!'. The taking off felt so weird and i got a headache within the first hour of the 10 hour flight. To top it off i had an asthmatic pensioner sitting next to me, trying to molest my leg the whole flight!.
Once we was in Canada, i had to get a Tim Hortons coffee, and boy it did not disappoint me! It was one of the best coffees ive ever had!.
Over the upcoming 2 weeks, we went to a adventure park. Played mini golf, went on rides, and went for a swim in 'Cultus Lake' (Amazing place). Hiked to the top of Mount Elk! (Took nearly 2 hours each way!) My friend ran off with the drinks, leaving me and his cousin without any water!. We went on various walks, some long. Some short. I tried all the Canadian fast foods, and i couldnt believe how cheap the country was! (Compared to the UK exchange rates) Went through places like Hope, where they filmed 'Rambo' in the Othello Tunnels there and the surrounding areas had shows like Supernatural filmed there.
One night we headed into Vancouver and went to a frat party. Stayed at the UBC (University). The University there was one of the biggest ive ever seen! You could live there your entire life and never have to leave! We stayed in a frat house called 'Sigma Chi' and stayed in one of the rooms there after getting totally drunk. The room i stayed in was absolutely horrid. The mattress had yellow stains all over it and the room had a horrid smell. I resorted into sleeping in a desk chair all night! But overall that was an amazing time.
One my last day there, i went to Whistler. 3 hours there with beautiful views and a few pit stops too. We went there to do a bungee jump! Boy was i lying if i said i didnt shit myself. Every mile we got closer i got more and more paranoid!
One we got there we got greeted my the nicest Aussies you could meet, who reassured me that i will not die! But i would not budge. I didnt wanna do it. I got to the point of being roped up and ready to jump off, then i couldnt move. I wasnt humain to jump of a freakin' cliff!. So i told him that i couldnt do it... He tried pushing me over the edge. but i threatened to punch him... but all in all, it was a great experience. Oh, and the most expensive t-shirt i bought...
We spent time in the Olympic village after that and had a meal.
All in all. It was the best experience of my life so far.. I don't regret a thing! Beautiful landscapes, amazing people, food and places. Excuse this being all over the place! Im at work and i cant really be going on NGU now can i?
tl;dr: Refer to first line of the post.
