WOW !!! what a first week its been.I don't even know really where to start.
The flight was as enjoyable as a 13 hour flight can be. Met a couple of guys along the way and have ended up becoming great mates with Alex he's from NZ and both being new to Vancouver where pretty much ended up seeing the city together.
Vancouver is just a phenomenal City, I am stuck for words to explain how amazing I've found it to be.

One of the best parts was that everyone who i have met has come over here with The Working Holiday Club which has been great being able to make some friends before heading up the mountain to start work.
Staying at the Samesun hostel has been such a surprise at first i was somewhat sceptical about hostel living however i have some of the best times of my life and nights that i'll never forget.
After an amazing sleep the first night we (other TWHC travellers) set out to see the sights of Vancouver City.
Stanley Park was just amazing, squirrels are literally everywhere and we even saw a family of raccoons. Capilano Suspension bridge was next on our tourist list it was just breath taking and just so flawless whilst kind still leaving me a little bit on the edge as we where exceptionally high up.That was just the first two days on the Second night we went to see the Vancouver Giants play Ice Hockey, These guys were dead set trying to kill each other. Hopefully the NHL comes off lock out soon, but for now where enjoying the Junior leagues. You just have to make sure that you dont mention that the Vancouver Canucks arent playing at the moment or the locals blow up.
Halloween was the most amazing night or series of nights really. First was the Saturday night version where we ended up getting asked to get dressed up at this bar as Zombies for a horror maze, after that we ended up in a limo on our way back to Granville St. which had been closed and was filled thousands of people dressed up in some of the most insane costumes Ive ever seen. Seriously one of the most amazing experiences I ever had.
So to wrap it all up as you can tell I had a great time in Vancouver and was sad to leave, but after all I left to come up to Whistler so let the real fun begin.
